GNOME Recognized as Public Interest Infrastructure
(foundation.gnome.org)
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 prefer KDE currently, because
are all simply better than the GNOME counterpart. Also things like the clickboxes of decorations actually reaching to the top corner is something so obvious its crazy that GNOME simply ignores that and you need to directly point to the "x".
I like that Gnome is untraditional though.
As the first paragraph says: "The GNOME Foundation is thrilled to announce the GNOME project is receiving €1M from the Sovereign Tech Fund to modernize the platform, improve tooling and accessibility, and support features that are in the public interest."
Let's hope that means improving all that.
Gnome has the best accessibility tools for disabled people
It’s often glossed over
I'm also on KDE at the moment, but I appreciate the money going into FOSS desktop experience. Most importantly as keeping things viable for the future. Also KDE and GNOME both, one presumes, learn from each others successes.
Windows XP's grip ever tightens well past its death
Good design is good design.
Did the windows before not have regular menu with all that? I think its an okay concept, even though I can imagine something like workspaces could make sense too.
