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.

Scrolling tiling is a niche not supported by hyprland.

Personally I'm not yet sure whether I like scrolling tiling. It might be really interesting for single monitor setups, but I feel a dynamic tiler is better for a multi monitor setup. With multiple screens, available space isn't an issue and not having all windows visible or on another workspace feels like a disadvantage.

But maybe I just have to get accustomed to niri. The concept is great. Especially on tablets it might be really useful.
