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 love KDE, but Kubuntu is a buggy mess, at least it was a year ago when I last tried it.

Honestly, the best implementation I've seen is Manjaro's, with Nobara close behind.

I've been on slackware almost exclusively for 2 decades-ish. I'm team kde. I always liked it, but I had shitty hardware from like 2010 - 2020, so I was on xfce because it's a lot lighter. But I always had kde installed so I could use some of their native apps.
