Just another wayland compositor
I decided to build a wayland compositor based on wlroots. The reason? I wanted to have a dynamic tiling window manager where you can actually create new layouts without playing around with the source code. So yeah here is the result of that work: https://github.com/werererer/japokwm of course with an AUR package.

- Linux distro without GNU
-
A Linux distribution based from Artix Linux
Clang by default is also quite interesting. Apparently, you can replace most of the GNU toolchain with an LLVM-based toolchain. Wyverkiss Linux implements this in their distro. I believe it's an interesting way of fully achieving a GNU-less system (if you'd like to do that).
