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 already see the commends and only have one question, why are Linux users so fucking dum? countless people enjoy KDE, countless enjoy Gnome and others prefer Cinnamon or Pantheon, can't we agree to say which we like/don't like whenever it's relevant rather than trash on the other DEs every time the name pops up?...

While GNOME 44.3 was skipped for some reason

Skipped by who? I'm running 44.3 right now

Edit: it was a tagged release on their gitlab too

Maybe he meant his distro skipped it. I'm also on the latest. :)
