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.

Nvidia. Within two weeks, their shitty drivers broke my system twice. If I didn't already know about that beforehand, I would've probably quit linux for good after that experience.
Out of curiosity, did you download the nvidia drivers with the distro's package manager or did you go to nvidia's website and do there installer thing? When I had an nvidia card I had plenty of problems over the years but I specifically remember that using the installer from nvidia's site caused all kinds of hell to break loose haha
