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 tried KDE, it's cool but I get the same thing of trying to recreate gnome/pantheon

It kinda sucks in GNOME when there's just one thing you would like to change though

Have been trying to get a tiling window manager on GNOME but all the gnome extensions that do it kinda suck

Really? I'm not a tiling WM kinda guy, but I thought Forge was decent.

I found it rather laggy. Maybe I should give it more of a chance just felt clunky and laggy to me (I assume because it's superimposed ontop of GNOME not integrated into it)

Edit: I gave it another chance and I actually really like it thank you for calling me out on that

Think it was only clunky because I already had a bunch of stuff open before turning it on
