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.

Fedora is great with gnome for beginer and don't get in way to much like Ubuntu when used daily
Fedora has been great. I will admit though, that gnome without extensions or tweaks for a desktop isn't the most fluid UI. Works better for tablet/laptops though.
I prefer kde for desktop. I'm also looking forward to the big xfce update that supports Wayland.
There are Fedora with KDE and it's much more bleeding edge than any other distro.
/me stares with one eyebrow up at this comment from EndeavourOS... (Fedora would be easier to set-up for someone new to Linux, though.)
Indeed, I'm aware of the kde spin. I forgot to include them together I guess. I had used kde on my desktop for a while.
