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.

But they are presented and optimized in a different way. Not only for the search engines, but also the way how it affects the human. And in the end (no pun intended BTW), one is talking about KDE specifically, showcases it and goes a bit more indepth. And the other is a very short and simple page, talking about Linux in general with a few key bullet points. So having two different ways is not a bad idea actually.
