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 wish there was a better way to judge the lightness of full desktop environements than just ram consumption, because speed and smoothness can vary greatly regardless of ram, so we know whether of not it runs well on shitty laptop, lxqt being no faster than xfce in my experience is pretty telling of that
I could live with my DE using 4GB if the responsiveness was that of a year 2000 PC running Windows 98
