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.

Sway, it's fast, pretty, easy to customize, and can do headless displays to stream with Sunshine.
What does headless display mean to stream?
It means that the display I stream doesn't show on a physical stream. When the stream start, it can automatically be set to the resolution and framerate of the client.
This is especially useful when the client has a resolution and/or refresh rate not supported by a connected physical screen. For example, I always used to have vertical black bars on my phone because it is so wide, and horizontal ones on my Surface because it is so square, but not anymore.
It also means I coult setup multi-seat stuff and keep using my pc while someone else is streaming.
