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.

How big is your monitor that you can havel 5 windows open at once and you can still see everything sufficiently? Also whats a stacked WM?
I usually have 4 windows on my 34" QHD monitor (16:10 aspect ratio), the fifth window is usually a full-screen window on a different workspace or monitor.
A stacking WM is a "normal" WM that most people use, like Mutter (Gnome) or kwin (KDE). Also called as floating WM. It's called stacking because windows are organized in a layered stack, one on top of the other, similar to pieces of paper on a desk. They have a "z order", and can be "above" or "below" each other, along the Z axis in the stack.
