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've gotten good responses already, but I just live and let live with Gnome's Mutter & KDE's Kwin. It's worth mentioning that they're both highly polished offerings. But I would also understand why one wouldn't want to use either.

I love KDE and use it as my daily driver, but talking strictly about the tilling experience, it just ain't it.
I've tried both Polonium and a updated fork of Kröhnkite for Plasma 6, and neither them were as nice as Hyprland...
