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.

From their webpage ... sounds pretty cool:
Sway is cool, but no support for Nvidia proprietary drivers, unfortunately.

now that this is implemented it should just work, as far as i'm aware.
what they really need to work on is single window capture and global keyboard shortcuts... crazy that it still doesn't have them, they're literally the only missing features before sway is feature complete and they've been missing for AGES.
I've been using it for a while now, its been robust and extensible. I think its only real downside is that its too extensible as out of the the box not much comes as standard that you might expect if you coming from something like gnome, such as a control panel, auto tiling, a lock screen, or screen capture (although this release seems to fix setting that up now). This should be expected as its a WM not a DE.
