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.

If you know a bit of Python then i can only recommend you try qtile. It's a pretty nice WM to start with IMO.
Qtile just felt wrong to me with how meant things didn't work
Why? I've used qtile for a while, and if gou need help configuring it, let me know and I'll be happy to help
I just spent so long installing it, you'd think I've never used Linux before
Oh, what distro are you on? If you're installing via pip, it canbe painful. I felt the same way to be honest.
