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 was using regolith ubuntu on an old MacBook and fell in love with i3wm on x11 or whatever it uses. Got a new computer Intel and the composters never worked right scrolling pages or watching videos. I gave up and went back to stock ubuntu. Wayland works well for me but my question is how hard is it to build a de like regolith using awesome it some other tiler? It seems intimidating

TIL there is a DE called regolith. I don't know much about WMs, but I hear a lot of noise about hyprland. Never tried it but a lot of people swear by it, and it runs solely on Wayland.

Hi I just checked it out looks awesome. Unfortunately going down the rabbit hole again is looking less appealing. That's what I liked about regolith, maybe I'm happy with gnome after reading the hyprland wiki 😅

This guy has a ton of videos on it. He even has a script that you can run and it installs everything for you. I used his channel when I tried hyprland a couple of months ago for the first time in my life. Lol
