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.

Using it on my latest install. Not bad. I mostly picked it for the visual aspects but I'm in the fence about it's functionality. It feels like it takes more clicks than it should to open stuff.

Perhaps, but it's also good to remember that it's still in Alpha. That could still change. I feel like it would be hard to give a good review before it's at least RC1
