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.

The GNOME team's fixation on their own unique desktop vision holds back the progress of desktop Linux as a whole.

nah, this is totally wrong, want to have a windows like ui?, switch to every other DE that exist, it's thwir project, they do what they want, and they can experiment thungs if they want, that's the beauty of linux

yes, they can take bad decisions sometimes, but don't act like they are slowing down progreds, because they aren't, why we want have 200 looklike DEs?
