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.

You can probably install a different desktop environment for pop, usually it's just a command and then there's a menu in the corner of your login page where you can change the desktop environment.
Yeah, I know it's possible, but I'm not a linux expert and I'd rather leave well enough alone. It works and it's not Windows and that's good enough for me!
Of course, whatever works best for you. I guess when you get annoyed enough just know switching desktops not as complicated as it might initially seem lol.
Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind! :)
