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.

Personally a BIG fan of hyprland

Hyprland's lead developer is very toxic, and attempting to interact with them on their discord is a recipe for a bad time.

That's probably the reason why Brodie stopped using it too. Never said why though, just switched to KDE. Which is extremely weird that he did... I heard about the toxicity, cannot confirm myself by first hand, which is the reason why I never tried it out.

Yeah. Even on github, it doesn't take long to find an example of them just acting like an ass. https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1817#issuecomment-1509207084

Oh god, what a terrible dev (at least from discussion point of view). Definitely disliked it and going to block that person (which doesn't even matter) after reading the conversation to that point.

Even the first reply (and everything after that, too) by them is awful. Heck, their first reply is far worse already to what you linked.
