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.

And I'm sitting here not understanding why people like KDEs' looks so much.

But then again, looks don't matter when you can theme everything. Nightfox Dusk with Tela Purple icons is a banger

I like a pretty much stock with tweaks KDE, personally. Nice and simple, utilitarian, but not necessarily minimal.

I've never really cared for the MacOS visual style though.

I shouldn't really care, but I may have to change DEs if I get a new high refresh rate monitor.

I'm currently using EndeavourOS with XFCE, so Wayland is a No. Could become a problem. Kinda is a problem already, because I'd like to overclock my main monitor to 75Hz, whereas the second one can only run 60.

Last time I tried to get Wayland on KDE a few months ago, it was a bit of a pain to get it working properly and then it was pretty buggy. Admittedly this was months ago, on Nvidia, and regular updates on making it better have been coming pretty consistently.
