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 do enjoy tinkering so I might play with it on a VM
Just bare in mind you start with basically nothing with many of the tilers, gotta install your own top bar, app launcher, guis for WiFi,Bluetooth, audio devices
I would not recommend you try it as your first daily driver
Totally agree! I won't be installing it as a daily driver anytime soon
I also feel that tilers with best when used mainly with apps that have extensive keyboard support. If you have to switch between keyboard and mouse too much it breaks the flow. But I can see it working with a track pad or nub.
