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.

Hyprland is very pretty and smooth. But damn. It's reputation as a home to a community of homophobia and transphobia keeps me far away.
I wish there was another wm devoted to eye candy but until then sway will be my preferred wm
Have a look at niri, then. I still did not do the transition from Gnome, but niri looks very promising.
There is SwayFX btw, just sway with some extra eye candy. Nothing super fancy though.
