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 love it for its simplicity but unfortunately some fonts like Fira Code are weirdly buggy on font size 11. Still a very pretty and just werks™ terminal for basic usage so I kept using it with a changed font lol
I have tried them all and this is my preferred option.
Tried it and was not much pleased. What makes it better in your opinion?
Made for gnome = bloatware, change my mind.
If you don't like it, don't use it. I like it so I use it. I don't have to validate my choices with things that don't matter.
I don't agree at all that gnome applications are bloat ware. Most of the gnome applications are very minimal and light weight.
Also I guess it is great we have options.
