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.

Try out umbriel. It's like the gap between niri and hyprland and is from the noctalia dev.
Well niri is actually perfect for me because I am a gesture user. All my navigation is done with mousepad gestures.
And so is umbriel.
does it have an overview?
Yes, its near the same like niri but it has also rounded corners and blur.
Well I do have a blur thing on here. I edited Noctalia to remove the rounded corners. I like them sharp for this theme. It fits the fallout vibe more imo. Will have to try Umbriel out at some point but I'm pretty happy with the result I got from this theme for now.
