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.

Use something other than gnome and, while you're at it, you might as well use something other than ubuntu.
KDE is very hard to break, you can go wild with customization there.
but other distributions are complex to install and besides, Ubuntu works out of the box on my laptop!! But thank you so much, I once tried KDE but Plasma felt very hard to understand.
I just installed Fedora. The install process is as simple and straightforward as for Ubuntu.
