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.

Now that Hyprland exists... Wayland all the way. Its a bit buggy compared to Sway... but its fast, snappy and very lightweight.
How is hyprland any more "fast, snappy or lightweight" compared to sway...?
I am not a user of ether one but technically speaking X11 simply has a ton of legacy code to a point of questionable maintainability which is why Wayland exists in the first place
sway and hyprland are both wayland.
