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.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whatever works for you, but that sounds painful to me. Why is only using the center of the screen so important?
I'll clarify that I only use the more complicated layouts on my big monitor at home; when I am on a laptop it's single window or side-by-side for the most part.
I am just a regular user but on a smaller screen ie. 13 inch 1440x900 I just have a single maximized window visible even if I have multiple apps open like web browser because I can't see anything if I have multiple windows.
