From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Word of advice, it's best to make a new user for a new DE, lets you go back easily and avoids conflicts, basically necessary with KDE -> Gnome.
If you're actually already on an atomic fedora (as evidenced by rpm-ostree) you can have a look over here. There are also a few other images around but most seem old and unmaintained.
