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 use KDE on Debian, it's a checkbox in the installer or you can use a Calamares live iso with KDE.
Yeah that is one of my favorite parts of Debian. You can just pick a DE in the installer or even use no DE in the install and apt install one. I don’t understand why so many distros try to lock you in to one DE.
