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 think the fact that you’re so bothered by me using default GNOME but wanting to pick my own apps is reason enough to keep it. Cry more about my personal decisions 😄
I'm bothered by the fact that you made a statement that's not internally consistent and contradicts itself. Like whatever you like, but if you're going to cite a reason, be accurate. Don't be so dense.
How is "GNOME is bloat" an objective fact? Maybe to you GNOME is bloat because you don't use it. But they use GNOME, so it's not bloat to them.
Conversely, if they don't use XFCE, then having XFCE installed by default is a bloat to them.
Don't be so dense.
Pot, meet kettle.
HOLY FUCK, you insufferable redditors, this is why people say “you know what? Let’s not use Linux, it is a silly OS”
People like him should stay on Reddit. That entitled fuck wanted me to apologize because he didn’t like how I worded my comment lmao
You need to calm down
It’s clear you don’t hang around many people if you expect everyone to make zero mistakes.
I don't expect people to make zero mistakes, I expect people to not be belligerent when they make mistakes
I expect you to be a decent human being but my hopes were too high unfortunately.
Evidently your high expectations came from being up high on a cross
