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.

Good to know which community to avoid if I ever get into Tiling WMs

Really is a good WM though. Thankfully I haven't had to interact with the community yet.

It's pretty normal from what I've seen. A few bunch of edgy onliners that troll general chat but other than that it's alright. Varxy also posts some edgy gay stuff every now and then. If you just stick to the hyprland channels you won't have a problem.
