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 use KDE but GNOME is cool too lol.
Btw it is pronounced with a G.
You will never make me pronounce the G. Never!
Wait, you don't pronounce the G? So it's like... "NOM-NOM-NOM"?
LOL. Yes, but add an E at the end. Like this::
Thats only in english. In german it is Gnom and you pronounce the Gn correctly.
Oh, this is getting dangerous now.
GIF has a hard G, unlike gNOME. 🔪
Pronounced "Jif"?
jNOME ;)
GDE?
Or as english people would say DE
I also use KDE because it's better for gaming. But I love GNOME's UX/UI. I wish I could go back.
In what ways is it better for gaming?
The Gamecontroller calibration and test all is pretty nifty in KDE. Something like that is dearly missing on GNOME.
I use jstest-gtk. Really light handy tool for testing and calibration. Antimicrox also works great for rebinding controllers.
Checkout some videos by Michael Horn, GNOME 46 is actually pretty good for gaming.
Same, only reasons I had to move to KDE were, GNOME crashes when both my monitors are off (so, every night when I go to sleep), and tray icons are terrible (as GNOME intentionally doesn't support them), the extensions are all very lacking in features compared to the Windows tray (kde somewhat matches almost everything except being able to reorder the icons).
The ArcMenu extension is by far the start menu I've liked the most out of all options on linux, and it saddens me that there's no KDE plasmoid/widget variant
I prefer KDE for desktops, but gnome for laptops. However I've been using gnome on my desktop for a while now. With some minor customizations it's fine.
Like Genome? Or Guh-nome?
That’s so cursed.
Hahaha no like GNOME

The Halmafelix voice pronounces it correctly.
But thats not your fault, english is like french, not pronouncing the G in gnome. It is like a-gn-ostic
"gee-nome"? Got it!
It's pronounced "juh-know-may."
Only if you have a Klingon accent.
It's a Klingon tea-like beverage. A warrior's drink!
Ah, warm beer, yes!
like in a-gn-ostic ?
Gonna-nome?
Agonnanostic
(⁀ᗢ⁀)

Halmafelix pronounces Gnu (the animal) which is just the same as GNOME.
G-N-O-M-E
Its gnome
