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.

I have an NVIDIA and I dont understand why everyone says its buggy. What kind of problems are people having? I use Nobara for AV work + gaming, it installs the propritary drivers automatically. The few games I've tried worked flawless, better then on Windows on the same machine. There's one game I've tried were I had to switch to X11 but all the others works on Wayland.
It's far better than it used to be. They didn't get the reputation for no reason. There were lots of Nvidia-specific bugs that have been slowly sorted out over the years. I'm told Wayland is even in a roughly usable state now. But it takes a lot of time to regain the lost trust. Let's see how long it takes them to support HDR, and what that support looks like.
Well up until the last driver version I was scared of putting my lappy to suspend cuz it wouldn't wake up sometimes and I'd have to directly power off sometimes causing a kernel panic. 545 was a blessing.
