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.

Kwin and mutter only run with desktopmanagers, he meant windowmanagers that come around without a desktopmanager, like sway or i3 etc.
I wonder if i3 is more, just because it's been around forever, but I could certainly see Hyprland as having the most growth among standalone options.
I would think i3 is slowly dying because sway is it's Wayland replacement. But wrong, i3 has a stable fanbase.
Sway, from what I understand, hasn't really made a ton of improvements that would entice the X11 holdouts to switch. Not that it's bad, but if it's virtually the same as X11—and that's what someone knows best—why would they bother switching (I would, but I also try to use Wayland whenever possible).
