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.

Damn, I just love KDE, but my Linux Mint doesn’t support it anymore so I have to satisfy Cinnamon.
Just another reason not to use Mint.
What else should I use? It just works and I don’t want to mess with my computer anymore.
A distribution with first class KDE support, obviously 😛
fedora KDE has been pretty painless for me, and if you want something that’s still ubuntu based, kubuntu looks good too
CachyOS, Nobara, Bazzite, there’s a lot of good options.
