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.

people always complain about nvidia drivers on linux, but personally my experience has never required anything more than sudo apt install nvidia-driver

Arch is similarly this easy. I think where I usually see the most people complaining is when a new shiny version of the driver has come out and they try to update manually, breaking system packages and borking their system.

I'm not saying I have personally done this before. Nope. Not saying that at all...

Returning Arch user (absent since 2008/9) here, using Plasma Wayland. Overall a positive experience but there's lots of little finicky things to setup, and I haven't tried using linux-zen like in my EndeavorOS work laptop, I imagine that's a bit more finicky with DKMS.

Nothing out of the ordinary for Arch thus far though, just manual configuration.

Cyberpunk, Witcher and Mount & Blade II won't boot for me on Nvidia. I have to use Windows in VM or dual boot for those games
