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.

If you're using nvidia and like Fedora, try Nobara. It's gaming focused and comes with nvidia drivers.
Why not just installing the drivers?
Easier for a linux noobie. Some people want easy, some people like to fiddle. It's good to have choices.
In every distro I tried in the past few years, "setting up drivers" was just installing the
nvidia
package and rebooting.I'm very happy that you had success and such an easy time. Yay, linux! Yay, you! You're the best!
Thank you so much! 😊
