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've been using paperwm on gnome for a couple years now, it's my preferred paradigm for tiling. This looks like it has a lot of the same influences, so I'm interested in seeing where it goes

I haven't seen this paperwm. I'll have to check it out.

PaperWM really should be its own DE. It's so good, almost perfect, but held back by its nature of merely being a GNOME extension.

You're not wrong about that at all. I thought about making a Wayland WM TM around that idea, but programming is work and not fun now so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
