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.

While I love KDE, why do we have to have this mentality? I don't care how much of a joke it is or not, just let people use what they want to use. I've never used GNOME and I'm not about to start commenting about it but I do know there are a ton of people who use it and love it as much as I love KDE. It's like the whole Android vs iPhone debate; who fucking cares?
Tribalism is fun
IMO being part of a community and watching a project evolve is fun, e.g. using Plasma over the years and seeing it grow. I just don't get the point of bashing another project on the merits of "it's not the thing I use so it's inherently bad". Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
All that text and not even one mention of what you don't like with Gnome.
You need a break from the internet.
Couldn't you install KDE?
