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 switched to tiling window managers a good 5 or so years ago and really can't imagine using any of the DE available. I know, I know, you can run xwm in yDE, but I've never seen the point.
Tiling window management is one of the core focuses of the cosmic compositor. Taking what made pop-shell great and taking it to the next level. So you might be interested in it.
I'll probably take a look at it. I haven't really changed my i3 setup in years though.
