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.

toplevel-tag support finally, yay! I've been wanting to use it in window rules to fix some windows that don't go into floating mode properly and title isn't good enough to target them. Been waiting for it for months.

Can't tell if your comment is ironic or not but better be safe than sorry

No I meant "This shit just works"

"Shit just works" is a saying where shit does not have a negative meaninf

Awesome, i was actually looking at the releases like a week ago or something cause i was interested in seeing other tiling compositors except hyprland that have hdr support. Sway was the only one i could find but you had to use a git build since it wasn't part of a release yet.
