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.

Genuinely feels great to be hopeful about some parts of technology/software like this. I eagerly look forward to an update from KDE and sometimes GNOME.
Compare that to Google, Microsoft, any other public big tech, I start to just question why I'm not living in the forest as a new member of a Bigfoot extended family.
Every update on Google or MS: Oh god please no.
Every update on FOSS apps, Linux: Give me more daddy.
Gnome updates are like god playing dice.
KDE is the best desktop environment. KDE is proof GNOME is a fricking hot garbage
It's not garbage and if anything, it makes plasma better by being a bit of competition and offering simplicity.
I think it's more similar to the mac idea of simplicity, but there isn't much new features.
Gnome is way better that Mac OS
What a garbage take. Use what you want, homie.
Why tho? I mean I love KDE and it's my daily driver DE but I also like Gnome it's modern sleek and actually original from other DE which is just Windows Explorer/Mac DE that's also include KDE
I can be mistaken, but maybe he does not mean the quality and usability of Gnome desktop environment itself. I had to guess if I say he means the way it is organized and the decisions are made, which is totally different from the more free approach of KDE. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but that is what I think, maybe because that is the problems I personally have.
Gnome is way more put together than Plasma 6 at this point in time. Its rock solid reliable.
I keep gnome as my stable laptop setup, and Plasma as my tinkering with games setup. This outlines both of their strengths individually.
I can't use KDE for anything that requires stability and ease of use. It isn't bad but gnome and KDE slightly different use cases.
Hey KDE Team: 😘 ❤️ Please don't ever change!
Oh good. 6.1 seems to fix the only bugs that have personally bothered me. I’m stoked!
Was hoping to see a fix for the right click menu randomly deciding to open as a window.
