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.

I kinda want to move to sway/hyprland, am currently using Gnome frankensteined into a tiling WM
From what I hear you get a barely functional system to begin with though and I do like that everything in gnome just works as expected and doesn't require me to set it up
Fair enough. I like 90% of what gnome do by default, they just make it very difficult to do the remaining 10% yourself
