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.

My last Linux installation was kubuntu with kde. It was customisable but not enough to my liking. I'll give fedora a try too. After so many years, i should at least check how much it changed. Thanks for the detailed reply.
Anything to help a fellow Linux user my dude. I'm not as skilled as some of the other folks on here but I try when I can.
I think I saw someone mention hyperland which may be up your alley but you also mentioned you'd like to stay away from Arch so not sure if that'd work in this case.
KDE has changed quite a bit, you might like it better now. I think the recent changes have been good but I guess I dont change it as much as you might want.
