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.

If your looking to switch between things like stack/float/tile then I'd recommend sway or awesome, sway has the ability out of the box (iirc super+space) to toggle floating whereas in hypr you need to add or uncomment a line granted both are live update configs so you don't have to do the dwm rebuild type kerfuffle but still it's one more thing to get up and running where like I said sway has it natively and awesome has rules for auto-tiling. I've used all three pretty extensively and while I love hyprland for its animations I feel it's config needs a lot of tweaking, honestly so does sway and awesome but I still like them > hyprland.
