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.

They passed a bunch on to Hyprland. Fuck all these transphobes and other bigoted right-wing assholes.
Actually, no. Fuck someone nice. Or don't; I'm not your mother.
Maybe you are 🫣 Jk, I do think hyprland is a nice WM. But man... The drama around it.
I mean, if you wa—oh, you were kidding. You could try some of the forks of sway. I've heard swayfx is pretty good.
There will be a day when I finally learn to code properly and fork the fuck out of X. I'll name it
antifaX.Or not, because it sounds... what's the opposite of sex positive? 🥵
It is always easy to judge, especially when using a software that was mainly developed by tankies. Can’t always win.
"Judge"? My brother free/libre software, they're the ones who want me to not exist. I do not wish an ill fate upon them; however, I cannot tolerate intolerance.
Also, if they were vocally hateful against any other marginalised community, it would be totally unacceptable to the vast majority of Linux users.
Oh, there is no question about how evil Hyprland devs are. Don’t forget that tankies are pro-Russia and pro-Russia is anti-trans. Same shit, different boat.
