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.

If infinite customization is what you're after you shouldn't use a DE. A WM like i3 och hyprland is much better suited for that
Agreed. Using X11/DK as the WM, sxhkd for keybinds, polybar, and bemenu with frequency as an app launcher. 100% keyboard driven.
I used Sway on wayland for a bit but I couldn't deal with the way screen sharing worked.
Sometimes I'll be on Zoom keys and see a co-worker struggling to resize/move windows around and I just want to scream.
Agreed, but use sway instead of i3 for Wayland support.
Yeah roll your own everything even greeter is the way forward if you want to customise.
