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.

ISO Recommendations (sh.itjust.works)

Hello, hello!

At the behest of a friend, I tried out Omarchy (bear with me) and found it to be a perfectly serviceable custom arch install with hyprland (bear with me) and others configured relatively sanely out of the box. What really sold me on it was how easy it was to "custom brand" my laptop with our business name & logo -- I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.

After recent, uh... Revelations, I no longer wish to be a bump in Omarchy & hyprland's user numbers. I have plans on where to go next and what WM(s) I'll be trying (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed + Sway), but will gladly accept recommendations on other projects I may or may not have thought about. What I'm really looking for, though, is how to do the branding. My personal brand and logo were on login, lock screen, and the screensaver, all of which I greatly enjoyed.

So how might I best accomplish that? Thanks in advance.

If you liked Ormachy then I think you'll feel very comfortable with CachyOS + Sway. (I can't in good conscience recommend hyprland anymore)
The CachyOS team deliver sane configuration files to start a desktop. Then delve into how to setup greeters and lock apps, it's usually small changes in each config file with your own images and setup.

Cachy has been on my radar for a while, too. Definitely worth checking out, thanks!
