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.

Keep an eye on Pop COSMIC. It isn't ready yet, but I'd give it 4 months and I think it would be a great match for something like rpi.
Right, pure Rust must be fast af. And it doesnt look as shitty as the rpi desktop
What issue's did you have with sway? They could be a fedora issue and not a sway one.
Yes likely, at least in the VM the guest addition didnt work, and the mouse cursor was duplicating itself forever. Also it looked quite ugly so yeah, not a great ootb experience for sure.
Looking for similar myself. I love cbpp, based on openbox, it's just out of my way and lets me do my work. but I want to move to wayland, thinking kde plasma, spend for ever changing it to my liking and some how export all changes. probably a bash script first but thinking long term write it in ansible.
But i'd much perfer to find a stock/sane solution.
What did you change?
Not enough yet, made a list of apps I need, moved the dock/bar to the top of the screen. only have kde installed on my personal laptop, I don't any where near enough time to spend on it, my desktop isn't for playing around on.
So you didnt actually change any deeper KDE parts, making it more like a tiling window manager by default?
Keyboard shortcuts for
- krunner
- tiling
- workspaces / desktops
All that work great. Krunner / the kde Start menu are also truly great, I cant wait for custom rearranging of entries in Plasma 6 (afaik)
it sounds like rpios is using wayfire now, which is probably quite lightweight and can run on any distro
Low resources = Xorg with some sort of Window Maker or similar desktop!
