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.

As long as a gnome spin stays maintained. I've been using gnome for 8 years and I really don't want to switch distros again.

The Fedora Project currently maintains 10 desktop-oriented spins (excluding GNOME since it's the default), so they're not going to be abandoning one of the most popular DEs in use. GNOME is going to be maintained regardless of their default choice of DE.
