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.

Thanks for posting @SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml, that aeticle was more interesting & thought invoking than I thought it would be.
I'm using XFCE with a theme that feels like it's from the 90's and thinking about it, it does feel better to use than all the modern craziness that Microsoft has been doing in the last few years. I hated the Metro era...
I'm also using XFCE but with the Materia theme, because the visual noise of pseudo-3D overstimulates me and i like clean lines.
