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.

Can I just say that my favorite thing about Xfce users is that whenever the dumb "GNOME vs KDE" shit starts, you guys are all chill in the back being like, "let them fight while I drink my tea and move on with my life".
I might be a very longtime Plasma user, but I appreciate the shit out of Xfce and what its capable of while being light as a feather. Other than Budgie, it's the only DE I could actually see myself using if I absolutely had to ditch KDE for whatever reason. Although my reliance on Dolphin alone makes that very, very difficult. Thunar is pretty good, though. More file managers should have batch renaming built-in. Then I wouldn't have to use GPRename or KRename for so much shit.
