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.

KDE will return to its rightful throne.
I doubt it will. KDE needs to entirely change its vision of it being this mixed bag of customisation supremacy, and instead forego some of it to become performance and UX oriented like GNOME. KDE needs to do a 180 flip, and the community will tear it one apart if it "becomes the devil" or whatever nonsense the anti-GNOME zealots drum up.
True.
