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.

have been using various distros over the years and never had issues with the nvidia driver on any of them 🤷♂️
Elementary OS didn't work for me (broke during install -- people online said it was video drivers), and on mint and Ubuntu gaming wasn't working exactly right. In pop os 85% of my games run though
Do you game?
I did back then. Not such much these days.
