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 mean, can't you just make KDE plasma have the Gnome look, or...basically any look you want?

I can, but it's not the same.

I kinda getcha. Design-wise, you could get a very close copy (but I don't think 1:1. Never tried it tbf), but if we take the workflow into account, yeah it won't be 100% the same (also, QT apps can be a turnoff depending on the person)

Yeah, idk what it is but qt apps just aren't for me
