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.

The performance impact of these systems really aren't a problem for most modern computers. If your computer is running other GUI applications, I think worrying about that is insane. If you're running a server, sure keep it minimal because you aren't going to interact with it directly much. For your desktop if you're running games and stuff, it's going to be the smallest of your issues. Just do what feels best.
Even Valve, optimizing their handheld device for maximum battery life, includes KDE. You shouldn't worry about it probably.
