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.

Should be wayland by default, finally.

The wayland transition is almost over. JFC it took forever.

All that's left is steam itself, wine/proton, and i'd say we're basically done.

wine is pretty much there with its latest release. it'll take a couple of years for LTS distros to phase it out

I'm still waiting for this: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6025

I believe that'll make it so that windows actually use my SSD's instead of CSD's, i'm on hyprland and the double bordering is super annoying.
