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.

Damn, I had no idea what a shithole the hyprland community was :c

I quite like the feel of the WM, but it seems like I'll be moving on

It's sad cuz the soft is good tho But I'll be moving from it as well

and it's too niche to have a reasonable chance of creating an active fork. but the stuff happening in their community is simply vile, and as a queer person I won't feel comfortable to use software developed by open bigots

Yet you use Javascript if you use a web browser. People need to separate personal life from the work or professional one.

Yeah, I think I might also switch from Hyprland to something like SwayFX or Plasma 6 (with Polonium for tiling, I heard it's gotten better).

edit: welp, the background is black, system settings crashes and i have searched and searched for what this issue could be but i'm too lazy to make an actual support ticket so i'm complaining on lemmy instead.

thankfully i made a separate git branch in my config for plasma, i'll use hyprland until i figure out how to get plasma to work properly. then i'll configure it, if i don't like plasma i might go back to swayfx as i said previously in my comment.

It's a shame, I really enjoyed the look and feel of it

Thanks for pointing out SwayFX though, that looks pretty good! I hadn't heard of it before
