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.

Yes, I'll need to do a bunch of experimentation to see if I can get it working. But it's a messy solution to something that isn't even a thing on Windows.
Fair point, I'm using what Fedora came with, but I can go with something else. Better if I do that sooner, rather than later. LOL
You can actually, and I would suggest, grab a fresh Fedora install that comes with either of those DEs. If you don't wanna do that, I would suggest at least making a new user so that the gnome stuff isn't crowding your new life
I may have another external SSD I can use, so it should be easy to just install another copy with KDE or whatever on it.
Or... I may just stick with GNOME, since I'd rather keep things simple anyway. Regardless, I'm glad I have options.
