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.

Fuzzel and Rofi are picker/launcher utilities.
More alternatives are compared here: https://mark.stosberg.com/fuzzel-a-great-dmenu-and-rofi-altenrative-for-wayland/
Fuzzel is a rofi alternative for Wayland.
This is just a Monthy Python sketch, right?
Nice, I implemented the script to rename the workspace in Sway on my PC! I suggest to also write the option --width 50 to fuzzel, so the text field is large enough to see what you are writing.
Love fuzzel! Glad to see some much anticipated features!
