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.

seems like everything i wanted from breeze, might finally drop the long abandoned lightly
Not sure if you're still following Luwx/Lightly, but there's a fork of it - boehs/Lightly (though for what I've seen the changes it has had have been imperceptible).
i know about it, using it right now. the fork only takes pull requests from the original repo, no maintenance outside of that is being done.
