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.

Why are people so toxic? This is a KDE post, at least celebrate the work being done instead of bashing people for no reason
I don't care what kde does. But gnome and gtk are legitimate attempts of sabotage on the linux desktop.
Then comment about it on posts about gnome, man. Or make your own separate post about the issues of gnome and gtk.
"Hot takes" about a different piece of software don't do anything for discussion of the actual topic of this post.
I mean people are going to put their hot takes wherever made them think of it. Just down vote and don't engage. Unless especially egregious then report them
