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.

I use both: GNOME works better for a desktop, KDE Plasma works better for a laptop.
There are more than those 2 options for a Desktop Environment, by the way ;)
Funny, I have the opposite opinion. Gnome is great on laptops, especially 2in1s. KDE Plasma is a great desktop PC environment.
I have a potato laptop, so GNOME is a little too heavy on it. I think KDE Plasma would be fine for a desktop, but I'm addicted to GNOME
yeah i know but as an entry level user it just seems like they're the two most popular and they must be for a reason, I'm sure I'll explore more in the future
I personally can't stand any other options except for Cinnamon (since it got a redesign) and a few distro-specific ones. That's just me though. Explore away!
I’ll be honest I didn’t even know cinnamon and plasma were different things till making this post, they look and feel so similar from the little bit I’ve used them.
