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.

Yes, I didn't think OP needed convincing, or I might have been more careful about that. Rather, I was thinking about OP's particular search for a good rolling release with NVIDIA support. You do make a good point.
You know what, yeah, that makes sense (that OP didn't really need convincing, but was just looking for a good rolling release distro with NVIDIA support). I was thinking that some of the replies were kinda harsh on OP too, hahaha.
