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 are brave I suggest you endeavour os with i3wm.
Or sway :)
havent tried it yet. As Im relying on nvidia drivers Im still worshipping X11.
but from what I have heard sway is simply the wayland clone of i3wm?
I'd like to try Wayland + Sway. Do you have any recommendations for a starting config?
I'd found the Manjaro Sway edition to have a really good starting point, I am currently trying to replicate it myself in EndeavourOS (though the endeavour community edition with Sway is pretty nice too)
Thanks for the pointers, those will be a good reference. Now I just need to get started with a beginner how to!
