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 really like the pop os tiling extension for gnome and hope they will continue to develop that.

I do like the launcher in pop OS as well, I think having a small overlay window pop up is less jarring than having the whole screen change like in the GNOME applications/over view. But the GNOME applications view does more than just launch applications, you can search directly for settings, files and new packages. I really just want the GNOME applications view but in some kind of launcher program (something like kde connect).
