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.

KDE has been very stable for years.

That's not my experience. I've had bugs

Certainly not what I've experienced. But it's definitely a lot better than it was 2 years ago.

I use it daily on three devices running two different distros (void and arch). It's been as stable as xfce.

I believe you. It's just far from my experience.
