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.

KDE Plasma. Unless you're a keyboard heavy user, there's no reason not choosing it. It's the overall winner hands down.

After being puzzled all these years why anyone would choose Gnome over KDE Plasma, I think I have finally figured it out: Laptop users with keyboard preference and only a touch-pad otherwise do seem to have a better time on Gnome.

But for anything with a mouse attached: KDE Plasma all the way :)
