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.

KDE is okay out of the box, there are like 5 things I normally change from the defaults. It has tons of powerful apps (unlike GNOME?) Like KDENLive, Kate, etc.

GNOME on the other hand has tons of circle apps, with GIMP and Inkscape being the big players.

Of my messages and contact numbers? Not doing that

But its easy to find, just click the 3 bars next to the connected device and select SMS messages. KDE connect requires the app installed on the device to pair

Using Spectacle you can pixelate areas lol

Don't pixelate. Just black out. There are de-pixelation technologies that can work if you know the font.

I think that was about blur, the pixels are so big that shouldnt work.

You may well be right, I wouldn't take the chance myself though.
