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.

Every once in a while, a new snapshot gets released for OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and mailing list gets flooded with "nvidia PC no longer boots" messages. Meanwhile Radeon users can't get certain positive changes in the distro because nvidia users get no-video'd from it.

Nvidia is a plague. They purposefully make the experience worse in any way possible if you don't buy Nvidia products. Meanwhile AMD makes their drivers open source and promote open source software.

The outrage after Starfield announced they would support FSR and didn't comment about DLSS was frustrating. FSR works on all hardware, while DLSS only works if you buy Nvidia products. Most people I saw were complaining about AMD being an issue though...
