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.

I saw some people talking about niri just recently and plan to give that a try soon.
happy user here. you can actually see where you left stuff that was too much to fit your screen in your current workspace. it comes pretty natural to grasp compared to traditional tiling managers.
I'm sure I missed something important because I picked it from the list in sddm and went to black screen without any TTYs to switch to. project for another day alas
