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.

I don't like KDE and if Gnome is not going to be the main DE anymore I might just move to another distro. NBD.
Gnome isn't the main DE of bazzite either though
Oh, just let him have his hissy fit.
TIL not liking something is a hissy fit. Thank you for this educational comment.
While I don't know the term hissy fit, switching distributions just because the default of a user-changeable setting is different is definitively a bit over the top.
They still have a gnome ISO, but you're going to throw it out because it isnt the "official" version. That sounds like a hissy fit.
The non-official KDE previous version was fine, since the point of the distro is the backend optimizations for gaming and editing. Its not what DE leads point since you can add whatever Fedora has in the repos, which is pretty much everything.
