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.

I'm trying to think of complaints about how this is really stupid but I can't come up with any so I will have to install Wayland and try to get this working with my Nvidia graphics card (or not that seams like a big pain)

My first reaction was also to make fun, but it kinda seems neat and it's different, which I welcome. Really hope there's plans to support one strip across monitors cause that would be kind of dope to look at.

Edit: also I've had a pretty easy time with a 2070 running Wayland once the drivers and wm are right. I did manage to mess up my old nixos generations trying to get started and changing things around lmao. Landed on hyprland, and it's smooth.
