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.

Really weird article. A bunch of snarky comments from the author that add nothing to the conversation. "It's been a decade since I touched an Nvidia card, so I'm just giving you the info I read in a changeling. Couldn't tell you if it was true or not, so fuck you!"
I am also not a fan of this website, but NVIDIA proprietary drivers are notoriously bad especially with Wayland, so I was thinking that people might find it useful and upgrade their drivers.
It's weird that you're being this defensive about it.
The other commenter wasn't chastising you for posting the article, they were commenting on the article and the author of it. Nothing to do with you.
Nailed it. Sorry @filister@lemmy.world, definitely was not a commentary on your post.
