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.

Tried PaperWM? https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM it's like forge, an extension to gnome
Yeah, I tried it, but it didn't feel like I wanted continue using it.
Wasn't that the "continuous notebook" workflow?
If yes, then it altered the stock workflow too much for me and felt a bit janky. The main reason for me to use Forge is that it only changes the floating windows into tiling ones, and I feel like that's how Gnome was supposed to be somehow.
But I can take a look again at PaperWM, thanks!
There is also Niri, a compositor that is inspired by PaperWM
The current v0.1.0-beta looks very good. I only wish it came with a bar itself instead of relying on external programs like swaybar, or at least a working preconfiguration for swaybar that fits to most of the gnome-apps regarding the look and feel.
I used PaperWM a lot, but then it broke too often with every Gnome release. I havn't looked into the latest PaperWM. This Niri looks more promising and seems to have the basics sorted out. I have to give it a try despite the additional time needed to configure swaybar.
