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.

VanillaOS is very promising, but it has Gnome as the only DE option unfortunately.
I installed it just to see if maybe I was wrong about gnome being shit and even if it still is maybe vanilla is good enough to put up with it. I never fucking learn.
KDE user here. Never used gnome, why is it an issue?
its a more locked down experience, if you pretend the extension store doesn't exist. That and hdr and vrr are somewhat not done yet (probably done in a couple updates) while kde has most new implementations done quicker. I will say there is a level of polish to gnome that kde sacrifices, but like polish some people just don't consider it their priority. tldr: its personal preference.
I wouldn't call it a store
yeah, its uhhh stretching the definition of store maybe. But the stuff in there's actually quite good for how little effort it takes to use.
