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.

No thank you.
Why? You get a kick from your GPU drivers being a proprietary black box or something?
I get a kick from not buying Nvidia
I mean same I guess, but I still view their cards finally potentially working properly and not wasting shitloads of manhours for distro/DE devs as a good thing that will benefit everyone.
*I get a kick from not having any professional workloads that require GPU compute
Fixed that for you.
My professional computer is given by my company, I don't have to buy anything for it. I don't even think IT would allow me to run Linux on it 😅.
For my personal computer I make the choices.
It's Nvidia. That's not going to change.
No thanks to random YouTube accounts or proprietary hardware.
