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.

Yeah, gnome is built for touchscreen and mouse. People prefer different things and I love gnome for it's minimalistic style and modular customisability via extensions. KDE is also great, but I tipped my favour towards gnome for something different.
Gnome has touchscreen in mind, but you can totally use its hotkey system and navigate much quicker than point and click functions in Windows. Its a simple DE that gets out of your way to focus on your task, whenever I go back to Windows for work I'm frustrated by all the nonsense
