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 remember one time I installed a lot of themes for my session and I broke something and the themes changed my icon files forever and I had to reinstall Ubuntu!!

Should I just stick to changing my wallpaper and other small tweaks? I don't really like using vanilla Ubuntu anymore, it doesn't feel like me. Thank you very much!!

I've been using gnome for the past year on my laptop and on my desktop I've been using kde. I haven't used my desktop in a few months and I missed kde. I moved from silverblue to fedora kinoite on my laptop and I don't think that it's been two weeks but today I went back to gnome because the overview is much more polished than kde's. It just works. Gnome always breaks extensions when they update a major version but I've seen so many "extensions" on kde now which are all not updated anymore and break stuff that I might actually think that gnome's way is kind of good. Maybe it was just the fedora version which lead to so many bugs but the experience I had in the past week wasn't so good.
