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 am a proud Openbox user. In the stacking realm, there is nothing quite like Openbox's customizeability and the great tooling that surrounds it. In particular, opensnap gives me window snapping to the edge of the screen with the mouse, which is sorely missing from most light window managers. Openbox also has really powerful hotkeys (any arbitrary sequence of actions) alongside Emacs-style key chords, which makes it difficult to port my setup to any other environment.
One day, I hope to migrate to labwc, which seems to be carrying Openbox's banner into the Wayland era. Unfortunately, labwc doesn't (and probably never will) support key chords and I have not been able to find a suitable replacement for tint2, which I use as my taskbar. Someday...
Here is an old screenshot of mine. Nothing has changed since then.
Emacs user eh? A man (or woman) of culture I see. and great screenshot!
