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 wanted to switch but then saw nvidia's drivers are even worse on linux than windows. Maybe once I'm ready for a gpu upgrade I'll go AMD and make the switch because it feels like if theres little hope of nvidia fixing their drivers for PC there is zero hope for linux.
Using nvidia on endeavouros here with no problems. The drivers rebuild with every kernel update and it's as smooth as gravy. Before external sync was merged, they were problematic on wayland but fine on xorg.
I used EndevourOS with Nvidia for years but one day an update brought a black screen and decided to use something else (downgrade didn't fix it). I'm currently using Tumbleweed and it works well, but I kinda miss Arch... So I installed CachyOS in my Steam Deck.
