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.

I know you are joking but I’ve been running Wayland (Hyprland) on an Nvidia card for about a year now with in the beginning very few and currently zero issues. Even stuff like screensharing works.

Oh I know. People that actually have an idea of what they're doing have far less struggles with Nvidia stuff on Wayland. I just poke at it because I know that so many Wayland haters use Nvidia on some DE that isn't 100% supported like it's Wayland's fault.
