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.

Yes, I actually really like the Gnome workflow. I set super+spacebar to open the gnome-like overview and use that frequently.

Honestly I'm pretty conflicted about Gnome vs KDE and swap back and forth whenever I distrohop. Gnome is very sleek and I prefer the workflow, but KDE's default apps have a lot of really nice poweruser features. It's tempting to do some abomination of Gnome shell with KDE apps to try to have the best of both.
