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.

There's Tiled menu for KDE Plasma
Thank you. I might just have to switch to KDE for that. Will install KDE on my current GNOME environment. Will give it a test drive.
In KDE Plasma, if you right click on the launch menu button, there is an option Show Alternatives. Here, you can immediately select and use one of the installed alternative start menus. On top of that, you can install further launcher menus, which will then appear in the Show Alternatives list. I installed Simple Menu (from Eike Hein) that has categories, favourites and search. And let's you move the icons around. But its that easy to try out different launchers. I hope you find a good one.
That isn't a good idea. You should never install gnome and kde together on the same system. There are often lots of conflicting stuff. Some distros handle it well, but most don't.
Good point. Which distros handle it well?
I have heard good things about how openSUSE handles it.
Good I'm on Tumbleweed then. 😁
Seriously, I will test it in a virtual machine.
They are both so bloated, they can even conflict. 😮
Reading up on the GitHub page, it has a few concerning WIPs. Might not be worth swapping to a different DE.
But it has no ads
Yeah, it's not feature complete
