    I'm having RMS flashbacks, stopping interviews, podcasts and panel discussions to "correct" people to call it GNU + Linux.

    I'd call it Linux with a GNU kernel, myself. :)

    LOL! I've been there!

    Yeah, okay, if you really want to be that specific, it was originally called GNU + Linux. However, there's nothing that's completely
    incorrect in what I said.

    Oh, not at all - I was being facetious.

    that's certainly not something to brag about :LOL:

    I wasn't bragging. I was trying to stop a troll, by pointing out that I've seen, and dealt with, far worse.

    FYI: Most of the people in here predate Facebook by a decade or two in
    terms of online activity, trolls, flamewars, etc.

    Isn't Gnome still the default desktop on Ubuntu? Either way, I've
    never really liked the default GUI on Gnome - It feels like it was
    designed for a tablet. I liked classic Gnome (2.x, I believe)?.

    Linux Mint has been my favorite distro for a while now. I
    particularly like their Cinnamon UI, although I think their Xfce
    edition is good too.

    Yeah, it's still based on Gnome 3, not sure if it was 21.10 or if it'll
    be 22.04 that updates to Gnome 40 (I didn't pick the numbering).

    Been using Ubuntu-Budgie for several months now, really like it a lot,
    using GTK and some gnome tooling, but more customizable out of the box experience. Have mine configured with bits like windows, other bits
    like osx and other things altogether different.

    Ugh, Ubuntu.

    I don't need a distro to hand-hold me. I shouldn't have to jump through 30 hoops to log in as root.
