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.

Try Pop!_OS, it's a great operating system and perfect for gaming.

Honestly, I'm just not a big fan of the DE. I much prefer kde, which is why I went with kubuntu. Still had trouble getting everything to and running though.

Man, I used Ubuntu back on 12.04, but for some reason Linux seems way harder today lol

You can use KDE on Pop. You can use any DE on any Linux distro, or almost any distro. It's pretty easy to switch too!
