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.

Note that this article is from 2022, albeit with an update in 2024.

I was confused when they mentioned they upgraded from Debian bullseye, were using an old Firefox version, and had to explicitly enable Wayland for Firefox. I then saw the date of the post.

While I migrated to sway on my desktop, I couldn't on my laptop due to sway not seeing my laptop keyboard as a valid input source.

libinput debug-events shows the keyboard and the inputs sent to it on the keyboard which is Wayland's keyboard input library (so i can say its not caused by Wayland), but when i type swaymsg -t get_inputs it does not. I couldn't find a single solution for this so, I'm using i3wm on it until i can fix it.

I noticed they choose Fuzzel as the launcher / dmenu replacement. Me, too!
