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.

Oh that's possible? I had no idea, well, not like I felt the need after discovering MAS on GitHub 👀
Good call on the change of recommendations imo, although I worry that those DEs might receive the Wayland treatment too late, that's a pretty important aspect to me.
The "ancient" thing was just funny tho
I use HBCD, grab the keys, and reboot into the Linux installation ISO.
I forgot about MAS!! Man, those scripts were so important when Vista just started losing its registration for kicks and giggles. I haven't really gotten into Wayland, so I'm not familiar with it's benefits yet, but know (just from reading comments) that's they're plentiful.
Good to know, thanks for the info!
MAS is the GOAT TBH- acronym overload
In my experience the only improvement I actually noticed on Wayland was finally being able to screenshare correctly distinct monitors and app windows, there's definitely a whole lot of smaller things that got better with it though, as you say, so I think (if your hardware plays well with it) it is worth moving to
