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.

No, Cinnamon and MATE are much more Windows like DEs. KDE is awful for a new user and anyone that doesn't want to spend a ton of time setting options. The options are overwhelmingly fucking stupid in it... and how they are laid out is moronic compared to something sane like XFCE that has much better defaults.
A new user should use Cinnamon, it's the most Windows-like by far.
KDE is laughably bad compared to basically every other major DE, unless you have no life and want to configure every small detail... and what's worse? You will have to because the defaults are ass.
XFCE > Cinnamon > MATE > KDE + GNOME tied in ass place for almost opposite yet somehow similar reasons. KDE let's you configure everything from irrationally organized settings panels, and you have to because the defaults are ass. GNOME simplifies everything but if you don't like it, fuck you.
God, someone is sour.
