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.

are there any reasons to prefer hyprland over sway, that are not bells and whistles?
One word: tiling. And no, the autotiling script just doesn't cut it. If I'm clicking something on Vivaldi on the left hand side, and I have a terminal on the right, but I also need thunar, my file manager, I would like it to open at the bottom of the stack, under the terminal, not under Vivaldi, where my mouse and focus are.
