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.

Personally a BIG fan of hyprland
Hyprland's lead developer is very toxic, and attempting to interact with them on their discord is a recipe for a bad time.
Then just... don't do that?
It's a solid wm
One rooted in toxicity, which is a problem for people who want to help develop it. They are like that on github too.
Literally driving development away.
Void Linux straight up refuses to package it.
FreeDesktop has cut all ties with Hyprland.
edit: Do you really want to have to file bugs and work with a borderline Nazi apologist?
Wow, I understand that the issue tracker isn't the right place to have posted that but I still can't believe so many users sided with vaxry over the nazi thing
