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 use Mate everyday, it's my DE (Desktop Environment) of choice. I've used it through Ubuntu Mate and Opensuse. There's a huge difference between the two. The difference is, since the main developer of the Mate DE is the main developer of Ubuntu Mate, the experience is noticeably better there. Ubuntu has its flaws, but it's a fairly good all rounder.
Just on a side note, Mate is one of the most "Linux looking" DE. Which is cool since it's different and shows you a different (and in my opinion, more efficient) way to work! But if you want something Windows looking, well it's quite different. If you need light weight and windows looking, look for Lubuntu (or any distro with the LXQT DE)!
