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 wish GNOME was better than KDE for gaming. GNOME is so freaking sexy, I miss it so much.
Edit: apparently I need to clarify, KWIN (KDE's compositor, has way better support for Wayland than Mutter (GNOME's compositor).
Not too sure what your desktop environment has to do with gaming.
On Wayland? It matters a lot, since the compositor has to support each individual protocol feature.
I didn’t mention Wayland cause he mentioned using Plasma, which still defaults to X11 as of v5, and both DEs in question support X1, so the Gnome/KDE dichotomy didn’t make much sense to me in that context.
