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 used that combination, too. But I have settled for only the useless gaps extension for now. PaperWM was behind Gnome version too long and now I have seen there is Niri getting better and better. I will switch someday, I guess. It has the same concept as PaperWM, but is a scrollable/linear WM from the ground up.
I love niri, last time I looked it was not yet on par with paperwm which is why I'm still on it.
