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 devs have taken steps to make more Gnome-like software. A new generation of Gnome devs in the distant future could go full circle ^

If that is the case I might jump ship haha.

There's a lot more gnome dev streams to learn from. Where as KDE blogs more but are not as technical in their blogs.

Id love technical content on both so I can learn how to contribute overtime by following their news.
