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.

You can join the discord and check it for yourself. Been on it since December 2023 but never once saw one toxic comment. Also don't know since when but the discord has no off topic conversation. The discord screenshots in drews blog were 2-3 years ago.

Hyprland already has explicit sync enabled unlike sway. Sway is good too but at that pount I'd just be using i3 which is more stable.
