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 always hated how it took away screen real estate from the top and the side for no good reason
It also tried to save space with auto hiding the sidebar and using global menus built into the panel, instead of having a panel and then a titlebar.
Clock in the top center of the screen with no native configuration option to put back on the side because fuck you!
The universal menu bar saves space by shrinking application menus. Almost every DE has an application bar and I don’t see why you hate that.
