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.

Every once in awhile i think „yeah, let‘s move to a tiling wm“….but i find myself going back to gnome shortly after, because i can‘t get really used to it, although i really like the concept of tiling WMs…who knows, maybe today is a good day to try it again :)
You can have both, https://github.com/pop-os/shell
just installed it and currently in testing. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hell yea! I've used PopOS for a couple years now and it's pretty fantastic. Being able to enable/disable it on the fly is super great, and you still have all the conveniences of a full DE.
