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 recently switched to sway and I use xeyes to "look" for applications that are not running natively. The eyes only look at applications running in xwayland when you mouse over them since they can only track the cursor there.
I find it hilarious that people found a use for xeyes after all these years
I always assumed xeyes was made for that exact purpose, somewhat funny that it was not designed for this.
yeah no, the oldest commit I could find is from 2003 but if you look at the first lines in the file its at least as old as 1994, probably older than that even.
Those big googly eyes a God a sent for that.
I‘ve always thought that it was only made for this purpose🫣
