Linux

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.

If anyone prefers the dmenu look and feel, there's also bemenu

and there is also wofi for rofi.

And there's lbonn's fork of rofi with native wayland support. It opens faster than wofi.

Edit: https://github.com/lbonn/rofi

It's in some repos available as rofi-wayland.

Didn't know about that. Nice one.

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, and it's pretty good, if not as flexible as rofi.

[–] markstos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

And dmenu-wayland.
