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.

I use KDE but GNOME is cool too lol.

I also use KDE because it's better for gaming. But I love GNOME's UX/UI. I wish I could go back.

In what ways is it better for gaming?

The Gamecontroller calibration and test all is pretty nifty in KDE. Something like that is dearly missing on GNOME.

I use jstest-gtk. Really light handy tool for testing and calibration. Antimicrox also works great for rebinding controllers.
