I recently switched my laptop to Fedora 40's KDE spin, and like it a lot. I look forward to upgrading.

KDE is the way! I've heard KDE called the swiss army knife of DE's, and I couldn't agree more! I'd be curious to see a comparison of Gnome and KDE users previous OS. I'd bet KDE has more windows converts and gnome favors mac, but I really don't hear about many mac folks switching to linux.

Mac user since 1984 (also a lot of *nix experience). Switched to Fedora as my daily driver last year. Started with Gnome but got frustrated that every personal preference I tried to invoke required yet another extension. Switched to KDE and have been quite satisfied.

Nice! Glad you're digging KDE. After Plasma 6 was released, there were internal discussions at Fedora about KDE becoming the new default DE. I'd have to think a lot of folks went through your experience, I know I did when starting with Fedora.

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.
