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.

Having swapped to Linux on Pop OS and later onto Nobara recently, I strongly disagree.
As my personal experience on 525, 535 and even beta 545 with a 3080, so much as swapping onto a Wayland session implied lag, screen tearing issues, and stability issues / crashes on KDE and GNOME, to the point that I ended up selling the 3080 for a 7900 XTX because of how everyone said the AMD experience is so much better and it is.
True that I havent tested it on a laptop so maybe Optimus support from Nvidia or the latest drivers have added stability overall, but this was definitely a problem in desktop for the last months to me.
