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.

you could just use the gnome fedora spin, this is just about making it not the default.

What about upgrades, are they going to switch everyone to KDE?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

No you'd just find that your fedora says gnome edition or whatever
