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.

Well, I have this:
https://github.com/solarkraft/awesome-wlroots
Then there are some bits like bemoji (emoji selecty thingy) and getting getting grim (and now swappy!) set up to handle screenshottage, aaand getting Sway to behave (mostly?) like herbstluftwm through tricks like
bindsym $mod+1 [workspace="1"] move workspace to output current; workspace number 1(which seems kinda odd but whatever; I don't care that much at the moment and it works fine π π€·ββοΈ)Aand there's this lil pile of stuff to get some things to use their Wayland modes (and some other fiddly bits that may not be Wayland-related):
MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl QT_WAYLAND_FORCE_DPY=physical ECORE_EVAS_ENGINE=wayland_egl ELM_ENGINE=wayland_egl SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 GDK_BACKEND=waylandwhich probably isn't all necessary but whatever, somecritter will probably say something if it isn't πNever gonna take Terminology with the Nyan Cat cursor away from me, though πNot unless there's something better that also has cats and/or rainbows, anyway.
Thanks!
