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.

Gotta show some screenshots
GNOME's minimalist so not sure what else to show. Technically, I shouldn't have icons on the desktop I guess.
I have the overview (forget the actual name) on super, which is similar to GNOME's. And also have the virtual desktops set up to horizontal only with some similar keyboard-based shortcuts for switching.
I wanted to try the "one application per desktop" paradigm, which I did and didn't really like it, so I went back to regular alt-tabbing + overview switching but left the layout alone.
Interested in this configuration also
