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.

Meh, i hate the design too, but i can absolutely support someone looking into making their linux install more personal.
It sucks when forced on you by Microsoft but when the suffering is entirely self inflicted it's way more fun
Heck, that's practically the unofficial linux motto.
I am somewhat convinced some part of my brain is just an agent of chaos and wants to see me suffer because the moment I get something working nicely I suddenly get the urge to change everything
Sure. Whatever. But Windows 8 is really the last theme I'd ever choose.
It looks pretty good but its usability is shit
