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'm using RebeccaBlackOS because it finally utilizes Wayland's capabilities fully.
Finally, an OS to rival HannahMontannaOS
It's Thursday...what the hell are you doing???!! You're going to break the Internet!!!
I would totally run RebeccaBlackOS or HannahMontannaOS in a vm
The distros are very different. HM is just Ubuntu with a theme.
RB is, to my knowledge, the only distro built around Weston, Wayland's reference compositor. It doesn't include any Rebecca Black theming, it's just called that cause the distro's maintainer is a fan of hers.
Ah ok, good to know
Way back in the day we'd download Britney Spears and My Little Pony(tm) distros. Times change, I guess.
Breathtaking!
Lmao got worse as I scrolled down.
But xwayland is impressive. I've been using i3 but might switch to sway. The xrandr --scale command makes things too fuzzy.
