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.

For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

Hey hold on, I also hate Ubuntu because of how awful gnome is. Can't blame everything on snap!

touche. i like gnome a lot, but i wanted to try plasma 6 on another distro

Been rocking Manjaro with Gnome for a long time, but then Plasma 6 came out, I switched over and couldn't be happier.

Well, Ubuntu does not force you to use GNOME and GNOME is not exclusive to Ubuntu.

So, what you are basically saying is that you use Ubuntu and hate GNOME.

Fair enough!
