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.

better Wayland support is music to my ears
I’ve been really wanting to swap to a Wayland WM but I tried several of them and had numerous flickering and black screen issues. You would think nvidia would be catering more to Linux audiences since that’s where a lot of ML dev and training will be done
Nobody trains on a GUI desktop though. Training is done on a cluster. And the kind of models that can be run on a consumer grade GPU... Nvidia doesn't care about. They're focused on selling 50k a pop cards to AI companies not fixing the Linux desktop for $600 card users.
It's pretty clear that Linux users should buy AMD or Intel GPUs if you want to support even a semi open source world
