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.

@MsDropbear @linux I am running X11. Wayland is incompatible with the NVIDIA drivers. Last time I ran Wayland I only saw half the screen.
@MsDropbear @linux I'll give it a shot. Maybe the information "Wayland doesn't work with NVIDIA" is outdated.
I got my GPU very cheap from a colleague, otherwise I would never buy NVIDIA again. It works, but ugh it's such a hassle with #linux.
@fell @MsDropbear @linux
It's pretty luck based from my experience. Personally, I've had a lot of issues with NVIDIA + Wayland combo.
