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'll underline KDE once more, because yeah. Combine it with openSUSE for maximum maximalism ~~and minimum disk space~~.

Enlightenment is also kind of interesting in this regard. It certainly doesn't have the manpower to be truly maximalist, but it has some of the fanciest graphical effects and supports features that you're not going to find elsewhere.
Unfortunately, it's also not terribly stable, not often packaged very well by distros, and it has some unusual defaults which you'll have to get used to or customize them in some way.
