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.

Fedora Linux is a community developed and maintained operating system. Fedora KDE is one of our adaptations of Fedora Linux for your laptop or desktop. With this milestone release of Fedora KDE 40, we hope that you’ll be interested in trying an OS that belongs to you from start to finish, from install to first shut down, from UI customizations to major changes under the hood!

I will stick with gnome

Same. But it's still nice to see Plasma 6 finally arrive. Pretty big update for the Plasma spin

I might even give it a little test on my laptop and see how Plasma has progressed since I last tried to use it.

I like that it has HDR support. I don't own an HDR display but if I did it would be really handy

Looking forward to trying it on my Virtual Machine.

I love Fedora Workstation and Gnome but I’d want to see what the fuss is about when some people are saying that Gnome is too limiting and KDE gives you much more freedom.

Gnome doesn't offer a lot of customization but it is very easy to use if you can get used to the work flow.

Definitely install gnome tweaks and extension manager though

Yeah that’s what I’ve done and I’m 99% satisfied with it but I still have an itch for trying something different 😅
