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.

nvidia-535 and Debian (lemmy.world)

Hello friends. I'd like to ask if any of you knows when/if Debian will finally include the nvidia-535 proprietary driver. It's kind of a pain in the ass to install it manually and keep it updated. Thanks!

I never had huge problems with rolling release distros and Nvidia but recently got a AMD card and boi... Everything (hardware acceleration etc) basically worked out of the box with a very simple Arch installation... Never again going with Nvidia on Linux.

Yup. It also instantly supports even the most bizarre and unknown GPUs, like the BGA-only APU HD6310.
