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.

Looking for a distro to dual-boot with Windows 10 (lemmy.ml)

As the title mentions, I'm looking for a distro to dual boot with Windows 10, I want a stable distro for web browsing, movies and music. I don't like Gnome.

I'm not really looking for rolling release distros and I have a very good computer. I'm looking to customize the entire distro with a window manager.

Have a good day guys and thank you for your patience!

Linux Mint with Mate, Cinnamon, or you can install KDE afterwards

Even stuff that comes with gnome, you don't need to stay with it, and they'll all dual boot if you've got the unused space to install in (though GRUB will take over boot selection)
