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 absolutely adore xmonad. You can do ANYTHING you dream up in it. Additionally, it helped make Haskell less intimidating for me.
I have high hopes for their Wayland port called Waymonad. But it’s a long way off.
Little known fact: xmonad is the only WM that has a formally-verified base.
I run an xmonad community here: https://infosec.pub/c/xmonad
I personally use and recommend Sway.
If you are the kind of person who cares about the culture around the software that you use, avoid hyprland. It's creator is antilgbt and their discord server is pretty toxic. I also happen to think their documentation sucks.
Try Niri (a linear window manager), I have tried it already for a short time on a seperate computer. It is very good! I just not got around configuring it for my main machine, yet.
And I need to test how well Xwayland works, because I need it for Steam and some games.
Sway is based on i3, but it uses Wayland. If you liked i3, give that a try.
I went back to xmonad from Sway a while back when I realized color management wasn’t coming to Wayland any time soon.
