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.

Lemmy is the first place I heard about changing distro to change DE. Just install the other DE.
It doesn't always go well, especially with beginners, I've tried Plasma on Ubuntu and decided to go back to gnome, spent whole lot of time trying to purge all the Plasma bloat but couldn't
That is a reasonable comment. There is so much overlap between cinnamon and GNOME though that I doubt it is an issue.
If you use the nala apt frontend, it comes with a history command like Fedora. Really useful for undoing specific changes.
