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.

Pls no I just did a minimal Ubuntu install on my MS Surface and I guarantee I’m going to need to reinstall it at least 2 more times as I bork the entire OS trying to customize GNOME.

Dear liberals, you claim you installed "minimal" Ubuntu, yet you use GNOME instead of XFCE. Curious.

GNOME isn't inherently bloated, though; the GNOME circle apps may ne bloat if you don't need them. Liberals? Where!?

I like bling but I don’t like bloat on my hard drive. Checkmate mister.

So you installed GNOME? This is not the checkmate you think it is.

I think the fact that you’re so bothered by me using default GNOME but wanting to pick my own apps is reason enough to keep it. Cry more about my personal decisions 😄

Xubuntu is an official option…
