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.

How do you use it? Do you need to use hot keys constantly?
Hyprland uses mostly keybinds, though you can bind some actions to your scroll wheel.
You can definitely use something like waybar to create a custom interface that you can interact with your mouse or even touchscreen.
The beauty of using something like hyprland, sway, niri, etc. is that it is entirely up to you how your computer works, with every person pretty much getting their own custom desktop environment in the end.
I already use super+meta+arrows to move/tile windows around in xfce (modified it a bit from how it behaved in win10), but I was wondering if a tiling manager could elevate the experience.
