Linus Torvalds currently uses Fedora with GNOME, which was fun to learn because that's also been my personal choice for a while now.

It's been well known for awhile now that it's his preferred setup.

He seems to want as much stability as possible; while being as minimal as possible; with as little fuss to install and keep up to date as possible. Fedora meets those needs. Gnome is Fedora's main concentration.

Oh I didn't know Gnome was the official flavour now, last time I paid attention it was still KDE

I don't think it's ever been KDE.

It seems you're right, and now I'm wondering how I ever thought otherwise...
