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.

If anyone prefers the dmenu look and feel, there's also bemenu

and there is also wofi for rofi.

And there's lbonn's fork of rofi with native wayland support. It opens faster than wofi.

Awesome, will give this a try on a new Arch install with hypr

The thing I miss from rofi is the ssh/mosh support with history. I haven't been able to replicate that on any of the other alternatives.

Been using this with Sway since the start of the year, and it's been wonderful.
