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.

Sway, refreshing after a long stint with KDE, I'm glad to be using something that doesn't need a 100 dependencies to fuction
Very clean, I love the colors. Why sway over i3?
Ah thank you, the accent colors are my favourites and i3 or sway, my first proper go with Linux I had x11 and irc my system died and the readout was related to x11, I should imagine looking back that it was user error but at the time I figured I'd go with sway. I've had plenty of systems die since although I'm more equipped to fix the issue I may or may not of caused :3
I imagine the answer is Wayland over X11
Which bar is that? Polybar?
No standard waybar
Sick background. Is it some kind of coral photo or a cg render?
