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.

Nice, I'm replying here using Tridactyl for Firefox which is like Vimium so clearly I'm interested.

Does it work well on KDE (so I imagine KWin here) with X11 on Debian 12 (as it's not mentioned in the listed distributions)?

[–] jamesbunagna@discuss.online 1 points 5 days ago

Unfortunately, I don't know either. From my understanding, X11 as a whole is supported. Therefore, you should be able to hack your way through this. I suppose the installation instructions for Ubuntu should closely align to what's required for Debian. So that's your starting point.

No harm in compiling it and trying it out
