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.

Gnome to me was like a DE trying really hard to be like Mac, I don't want that. I didn't want any of what Gnome 3 was offering and I still don't.
I have a Debian VM that I jump into to try out latest KDE and Gnome just to see how things are and I honestly do not want what Gnome is still trying to offer.
So I'd happily shit on it and then find that corner of it to hook out the remaining crap from my butt cheeks.
I'm glad you like it, but allow other to have their own opinion without making the assumption that people have simply not used it and that's why they dislike it so hard.
