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.

It’s like al KDE projects IMHO. Good on the surface and works well. But use it for any length of time and you will find problems, unfinished areas, or parts where it was implemented without considering why it was like this in the first place.
For example, plug your 1080p laptop into a display with 4K and watch are your desktop icon gets sorted by a-z randomly instead of keeping the order you had it.
Or try to add a calendar even to your system by clicking the calendar which is found in the date and time on the taskbar.
Online accounts added to the system do not integrate into other KDE apps requiring additional signin.
I feel this is probably caused from KDE’s team being small, but having a large suite of apps.
Poor integration with Google was a major reason to go back to Gnome.
What’s the value of to do app, calendar, events if I can’t have it synchronized across devices.
Sounds like you have a pretty okay experience but some specific things don’t work - please take some time to report bugs if you haven’t yet!
I've moved away from KDE for a while now. Been using Cinnamon since.
And most of my "bugs" are more missing features than anything.
