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.

Does Gnome do this? I've certainly had my entire session crash when a certain LSP server used up all of my memory. I appreciate this feature!
I think it's time for me to try Niri as my main WM. The main thing I want to figure out is getting XWayland going so my Wine games will work. I know there is info on this in the Niri docs, so I'll start there.
Edit: The key to getting the games working is gamescope! It runs a nested X session. Lutris does not work without X, but Bottles does and it has a handy gamescope checkbox in the bottle settings.
Running out of system memory is such a 2000s and chromium thing
8GB memory + two Firefox profiles makes things difficult on my laptop.
16gb memory + 2 Firefox profiles + vscode makes things difficult on my laptop. Web stuff is so memory heavy
