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.

Isn't that a wayland notification daemon already?

Edit: no, that's dunst.

Btw, how do you do the background color thing?

Now someone needs to do a rewrite of dunst in rust called runst to make the confusion complete.

I was confused what you meant by background colour thing so I went to dust docs haha.

Now I got you. It's a codeblock so it shows in monospace font. Look up .md formatting for tips.

In this case its a word between backticks `
