This is your scheduled friendly reminder to try out Fedora Linux if you haven't tried Linux seriously yet. Its a great first Linux experience and comes with stock GNOME, which is a treat.

It also has a KDE version, which is similarly a fantastic GUI and actually influenced a lot of the design patterns people today associate as "windows-y" (I forgot where I read that one though, so I can't cite that particular tidbit)

Absolutely! I've been using Fedora for a long time and have been very pleased with it for my home systems.

Although I prefer XFCE[0][1] over Gnome or KDE, and would definitely recommend it to recovering Windows users.

[1] Note that I don't use the "spin" I linked, rather I have multiple Kickstart[2] configs (including a 'desktop' config), but XFCE is XFCE.
