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 really enjoy how GNOME handles windows currently already.
Between having the ability to move and resize windows with
Super + (mouse left|right), switching between windows of the same application withSuper + backtick, workspaces andSuper + typeto search, there is very little to desire.Unlike tiling VMs, this makes sense out of the box for 99% of the apps out there while providing a really quick way to get where you need quickly.
Even better are the three-finger swipe gestures on the laptop trackpad
