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.

It works fine on a desktop with a single GPU mostly. Though I have had issues with multi monitor setup at work with xfce and xorg. I actually had a better experience with gnome and wayland, in terms of multi monitor support.
That said, all my own non work computers I use AMD/intel these days though. It just works now. I did have a bad experience years ago with an nvidia optimus laptop, where I couldn't use the displayport without permanently enabling the nvidia GPU, killing battery life.
