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.

Nvidia has burned their reputation... Will take years to regain trust.

They are responsible for almost all issues new people have with Linux.

For me it was Gamestream. I literally didn't even check AMD because Gamestream was so important to me. My next graphics card will be the first ever not from Nvidia.

You could just replace it with an open source implementation of the same protocol, check out Sunshine for the server and Moonlight for the client.

From what I read, Sunshine is far from Gamestream.
