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 now set a shortcut to move entire workspaces to another display as well.

Awesome! This makes working with multiple workspaces on multiple monitors so much better. For some reason it's missing on all DE's/OS I've tried and only found on some tiling compositors like sway and hyprland.

Linux 6.6.6 has also been released, bringing about the end of days, raining fire upon the lands, and setting in motion a new era some may call: 2024. May the cosmic entities save us all.

Great to see the beastly Linux kernel being acknowledged. Happy Holiday!
