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.

The only problem(s) I have on linux are either my own fault or because Tim Sweeney decides he wants to make it a problem.

Driver 555 Fixes most of the problems, making the nvidia experience almost flawless. 560 dropping soon too

They fixed one specific issue afaik, not by actually fixing it but working around it, and they didn't address the real, main issue: The driver being closed source. Until then, there are and will always be issues that aren't present for AMD, because the latter has thousands of experts working, fixing and adapting other programs for it for free, around the clock.
