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.

Same. I'm sitting here with a RTX 3080, so upgrading makes even less sense. I haven't really encountered many problems, at least on X, but Wayland support is still a mess and I'm really missing VRR, which isn't really a thing when using a multi-monitor setup on X.
Given how things have been increasingly picking up speed lately I'm hopeful that it'll only take a few more months until I can say goodbye to X and hello to Wayland and VRR.
