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.

Wayfire is great. While I currently don't use it anymore I can still recommend it. Specially if you like to experiment and tinker around.
It really is what compiz once was.
What made you swich and what kind of setup did you have
Mostly I used a self written panel/dock and for some time also wf-shell (the reference/default shell). But imho there are are lot more options because Wayfire implements a lot of Wayland protocols.
For applications like file manager I just used what I thought fit the best, mostly from the mate and xfce environments.
You mean why I switched away? Has actually nothing todo with Wayfire itself. I had it installed on a very customised Debian Sid installation and started to have less time to tinker with my system and wanted/needed something more stable and polished.
Thanks for youre reply this will surely be usefull :)
