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.

Personally I like fedora with gnome as the desktop. It always felt slick on a laptop. I haven't used anything else in a long time... But kde plasma looks like it might be worth checking out if gnomes not your thing.
I used gnome a long time ago and didn't really like it, but it might be worth a try. A lot of things change in ten years!
It's improved by leaps and bounds in the last few years! Definitely worth a second look imo
@thethirdobject @iHUNTcriminals I would say its a no brainer if you mainly use a laptop with a trackpad. its feels like the de is setup for laptops and has great gesture support. the desktop experience is also good though once you install a handful of extensions and configure the keyboard shortcuts
