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.

I use Gnome at work and KDE at home. I like the workflow in Gnome and the customization of KDE.
i have an android phone because i love customization at a level apple does not allow, however, i use GNOME on my laptop as for some reason i prefer simplicity on the pc. well, of course i have a different theme and some extensions but hey, it's GNOME after all ☺️
