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.

Thanks for all your discussions. All your experiences are very helpful for me. Now here is my top list and reasons:
Out of this list:
Cinnamon is, straight up, the best. The only annoying part is that damn debugger thing that shows up that damn and useless LookingGlass thing which defaults to Super+L. Super+L definitely should be Lock Screen instead.
Gnome will be slow without acceleration. Were you running it in a vm?
Tried it on VM and Backup Notebooks. Especially on old Notebooks its hardly usable.
That is likely true although it may also have to do with a lack of ram and bad GPU support.
