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've been an XFCE loyalist for so long, finally gave GNOME a go and now that I've got something more simple and less customizable, it finally feels like Linux is a daily tool and not a project that I have to keep tweaking.
Yes, I'm a Debian person lol
I've tried a few desktop environments and ended back with XFCE... all the whizzy snazzy stuff breaks over time, or get's "up"graded to something I don't like... XFCE just works...
Yeah I'm pretty minimal on GNOME plugins for that reason too. XFCE will always be my backup at least. KDE is just too much.
