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.

Nah. I couldn't get behind Bismuth either. You had rigid ways you could arrange your windows with no way to adjust.
For instance, you can't get a layout like this with Bismuth (or any dynamic tilers that I know of, i.e. dynamic tilers aren't worth using):
The closest in Bismuth would be using master and slave like:
Which isn't nearly as useful
I gave Plasma a genuine, honest try, both 5 and 6, and it was a complete let down.
Nah bc the Pop Shell devs have done an AMAZING job. The new COSMIC will make KDE and GNOME look like pet projects when it drops.
