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.

eh I'm going to take a wait and see approach.
The early alpha versions of COSMIC I really liked but over time with each new Alpha release it just felt...off? like kinda leaning into GNOME "please don't actually customize me" territory? and there were a couple keybinds that just weren't there. also it felt like it was getting slower with each release.
That being said I think if you just want a very simple DE with the option of good tiling then COSMIC is the way to go. It's been awhile since I tried one of the previous alphas so if his release really is the shit then I might consider switching my WM to it.
This puts into words the nameless feeling I had while using it. If OpenSUSE eliminates support for x11 before XFCE's Wayland is 100%, I might still use it full time, though.
The tiling feature is killer, I really wish KDE had something imilar that can be easily toggled on and off.
Krohnkite?
Tried it - it works, but isn't toggleable like the PopOS tiling which has a taskbar button and a hotkey.
