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.

I've really appreciated running i3 within gnome-flashback. I keep hitting things that just work, that I didn't even realize I wanted. I hit the pause/mute button on my headphones when watching youtube and it paused... Things like ssh agents, hotplugging monitors and having it remember your preferred config, the main gnome settings GUI, the compose key, etc.. I'm just not interested in reinventing all that, even though each individual step is usually not hard.
I'm glad to see Regolith is making a DE with Sway. One day I'll migrate from i3 and I may let Regolith give me a DE.
