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.

Honestly I just love that Plasma closely resembles the Windows 10/11 UI. Not that I like Windows, but because I have to deal with Windows from time to time.
Switching between Gnome UI and Windows 10/11 UI requires an effort to me. Switching betweek Plasma and Windows - almost no difference.
Plasma is fucking great!
Windows resembles the Plasma UI, not the other way around.
It's funny, because the original KDE was definitely inspired by Windows, but Plasma has introduced enough new features before Windows now that it isn't inaccurate to say that Windows was inspired by Plasma.
And features 😅
To be fair, windows development also included UI changes beneficial for users, so its not necessarily bad to copy those.
Of course there are many which are.. questionable, we of course shouldnt copy those :D
Hmm....
Seriously tho, agreed!
