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.

Is there a "light" version, without a WM? I run Hyprland on my current Arch setup.
Indeed, you can just write your own custom
/system.yamlfile with the hyprland package (or no WM/DE for that matter). This guide describes how you can do that: https://blendos.co/install/post-install/intro/ (use the 'custom' track and add 'hyprland' to the package list)(disclaimer: blendOS dev here)
Awesome!
No, he said hyprland. Awesome is different. /dadjoke
Set 'blendos-base' in your system.yaml, install additional packages, update and reboot.
