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.

If it's Gnome, where's Qt?

Don't get it.

The CyberOS is based on QT Quick, hence you would feel its performance is better, despite heavily configured.

I am not sure Qt Quick means what the author think it means ;)

Could you expand on this? I don't understand.

Qt Quick is a framework for Qt, the name probably implies that for programmers it will be easy to build applications. But that does not imply automatically that the resulting programs will be faster than other programs coded in Qt without using Qt Quick. I guess the article author believed that the latter is true though.
