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.

Meanwhile Nvidia continues doing whatever they want instead of cooperating with everyone like Intel and AMD.

Not trying to shill, but they’ve stepped up with open sourcing their kernel modules and implementing wayland explicit sync (though not implementing implicit sync continues to screw users until the stack is complete). Their driver situation is far better than it was in the past.

Most games I currently played are affected by their decision to not implement implicit sync. I'm back to X11 until there is a solution.

+1, also waiting for the solution. I’m still on Wayland, but I have to use driver 535 to avoid major corruption issues with xwayland. There’s still issues with that driver, but it’s at least usable for me.
