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.

Said tinkering is pretty simple actually, just install weston. Weston is a reference wayland implementation that can run inside X11, so you can run waydroid inside weston

I actually recommend using Niri lately. It's not super great, but it does support multi-touch, which is major.

I hope cosmic supports it at some point because cosmic actually supports operating in kiosk mode, and also uses smithay.

Just to be sure, you're talking about this right?

If yes do you mean running using niri instead of weston?

[–] Quackdoc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

correct on both accounts.
