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 want the easiest to configure/theme wm and one that comes with sane defaults. Also I currently use cinnamon, and I'm not sure how to escape from that(everything in it is just so nice) but I want the speed of a wm

I would recommend using one with wayland compatibility if you can. Might as well not have to switch later.

When I was using Wayland, zoom crashed when you joined a meeting. Does this still happen?

The app has been slow to update to Wayland. In general I've just gotten used to using the web version.

I need the app for my music lessons, so I can't use wayland

I would recommend the opposite. You are limited in customizing Wayland WMs due to less amount of tools.
