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.

Tonight I am about to install endless os for my non technical partner. Do you think that is a good idea? Would you do the same?

I just trying Q4OS Aquarius KDE (I love KDE btw) with "Pure Profile" install yesterday, and I'll say clearly that nothing can beats their minimalist approach on system as far as I distro hopping on many Linux. The satisfied feeling with start from really pure system is so pure joy..

Need Tod check that out. Never heard of it. I myself run KDE as part of the mighty garuda Linux. Pure is not the word I would use to describe garuda though.

Try it on VM. if you seeking slim minimalist linux with KDE out of the box, then Q4OS is the endgame. Garuda do too much custom for me, even debian vanilla with KDE is still bloat..
