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.

The Windows UX is horrible. What desktop environment do you use on Linux, that you think that Windows is better? :D
They said they use Debian, I assume it’s KDE2 or something.
Actually Debian stable has KDE6, unlike Ubuntu LTS.
Gnome. On windows, I think getting things done is easier. Setup is easier(being well supported by vendors). No need to hunt down for cryptic dependencies or commands just to get sound or graphics running right. No compatibility issues with windows.
