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 sure did! I came from Gnome 2 and the first thing I did once I started to use KDE5 was emulating the two horizontal panels design!

That counts, right?

Lol sure does if you ask me. I hadn't even realized until you brought it up, but Gnome 2 was my first ever DE way back when I tried Ubuntu for the first time nearly decades ago. Time sure flies!
