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.

Not really surprised when you see how badly NVidia drivers are supported on Linux outside the proprietary ones…
Dude its about CPUs not GPUs
Yeah, saw that right after, reason why I deleted my comment. Might not have been spread all over yet.
I don't think it deletes for anyone on an instance different from you so you being on world means that it will always show up for me who is on sh.itjust.works
The closed source ones were good enough for quite a while; it was amd's closed source ones that were mediocre.
Course now that wayland is around Nvidia bungled their support for it ( trying to force their standard rather than what had been accepted by others), and Amd's open drivers have been solid the entire time afaik.
