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

I believe so, yes. Some distros have Sway as an option, and they often have all of that picked for you, but if you're rolling your own setup, you'll need to choose your own.
