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.

You using budgie as your DE or what? I'm looking for a new family friendly distro to replace windows (by request believe it or not) and this one keeps coming up.
I'm actually using i3

But Budgie is amazing. It's slightly lower on resources, easier to configure, and more user-friendly than GNOME. Most of the apps a average user would need are there, and they are all in their latest version, updated every Friday.
I don’t know if Budgie is “more user-friendly” that GNOME, from my experience, I’ve found the opposite to be true. Although, Budgie is probably easier to adapt to if you are coming from Windows.
I think that it personally it is more user friendly. GNOME is very different ways of doing things, and while that is one of it's strengths, it makes it feel unlike anything I've ever used and less user friendly to me.
It's one of those things that varies a lot from person-to person. Maybe GNOME's activity-oriented workflow suits you better, or maybe you prefer a task bar. The great thing about Linux is that we have these options!
Agreed. Personally tiling is my thing, but I do love GNOME. Even if it doesn't fit my workflow, I do appreciate all DE's and think the more choice the better.
