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.

I’m currently testing Fedora KDE on a VM (windows host) before eventually switching over to Linux completely.

Plasma, but only on Wayland (which is better anyway unbiased opinion).

Man i didnt realize how much better Wayland is until I had to use a provided setup for a few weeks.

The fact that I can't swipe to switch virtual desktops on xorg was enough to make me question why xorg doesn't offer such basic things after all the years

The swiping thing is apparently a deliberate decision by KDE for whatever reason.

Well, yeah, but they made that decision, because X11 is a pain to implement and debug this stuff on.

That sounds like a pretty good reason yeah

But screen sharing was not possible for me. Which is kinda a deal breaker. Is that implemented yet?
