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.

Second, you are not special because you use Linux. You are not trash because you use Windows. At the end of the day we are all just slowly moving to more open solutions like Linux because they are better.
Just a side note but you should not install two different desktops at the same time. Best practice is to do a fresh install with a clean home but you also can install KDE and remove gnome though dnf groups.
