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.

Can't be that good. I did a kde archinstall on a friends desktop just last week, 2070super with proprietary drivers, and wayland crashes on login. T_T
I've been using wayland for years but I'm running AMD.
Well yea it doesn't work on Nvidia very well
The linux desktop experience in current day is honestly incredible to use. as long as you keep team green as far away from your hardware as possible. Not worth the headache to deal with Nvidia in my personal experience
I use Nvidia and I haven't really had any problems myself.
Arch based system running a Nvidia Quadro card, then I have a 3080ti disabled on boot from Linux that's passed through to VM's.
Even passing it through to an arch based VM doesn't give me any issues.
But that's just my personal experience as well
