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 can't stand Enlightenment. I tried using it for some time and simply wasn't to my liking and I truly wanted to move over to it, has I would benefit from having less resources tied to the DE alone.
Currently, the systems I have run on Xorg but opting for a wm capable of working under wayland or xorg makes sense.
Ideally, I'd board a window manager capable of moving into a compositor, under Wayland, since it seems Xorg is reaching the point where it may be left behind.
Whatever knowledge I gain from whatever solution I pick won't be a waste but I'd like not to have to jump from one solution to another.
That is why I'm not considering Openbox, as per what I've read its development has ceased, making it a finished product for Xorg. Fluxbox seems to be on the same scheme, per what I've read.
