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.

Do managers like this lend themselves to better performance? Or is it just more for looks/easy tiling?

Both i3 and sway are very lightweight so you do get good performance, but it's the easy tiling / no-nonsense looks that appeal to me.

You know. I was just thinking my window management hasn't been as performant as I'd like. I really need my windows to move a bit faster.
