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.

Will be doing a fresh install on an old laptop in the near future and was considering trying wayland.
Can you recommend a decent & light window manager & terminal emulator?
I've played around with wayland but always ended up back on xorg, was gonna give it another shot.
I use sway and foot, which comes with sway.
foot does not come with sway. why do you think foot comes with sway? foot and sway are unrelated.
they're both good wayland software, though
I'm pretty certain that foot is the default terminal for swaywm.
interesting.
the default config file is basically "Drew's preferences watered down a bit for a general audience"
alacritty used to be Drew's preferred terminal for sway.
sway does not come packaged with any terminal.
Manjaro sway comes with foot. Maybe he/she meant that…
fedora sway too
