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've been using Linux Mint since forever. I've never felt a reason to change. But I'm interested in what persuaded others to move.

XFCE with Wayland is really needed. LXQt is really close btw, you can already use it

I can imagine how that setup is really stable though, and yeah GNOME is annoying. But XFCE is really far behind from many modern Desktops. I want to do a minimal KDE setup, without most of the bloat. Its not really possible, but Plasma 6 will be fancy and solid, modern and Plasma doesnt really need more resources than XFCE nowadays. If you disable baloo, maybe remove kdeconnect, maybe replace Dolphin with pcmanfm-qt (which is nice but inferior too) it is really snappy and light.
