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.

Ha, they're just showing off their hacker side for the screenshot, plus terminals resize nicely. Tiling window managers work well for most apps. The only GUI issues I've had are some pop-up windows being tiled instead of floating, but that's an easy fix. They're not for everyone, but they work great with GUI apps.
Yup. Main issues I've had are GIMP (seriously, what's with that floating toolbar) and weird pop-ups in browsers.
I forget why I switched away from them because I was annoyed at games messing stuff up, but it really wasn't that bad. I currently don't use it because my kids use my computer and I'm not interested in teaching them my shortcuts.
There is an option to display all widgets into a single window.
