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.

Personally, I'm looking forward to native Wayland support for Wine and KDE's port to Qt 6.

              At the least Nvidia hardware gets full support for Linux. Which in turn would help me run Wayland on daily bases.
Ease at implementing secure boot for Linux.
Torification/I2P being used as standard to use and adapt applications running on linux for internet access.

I2P by default would be a hilarious F U to surveillance

I get you on the NVIDIA side of things, but as another commenter mentioned, it's an NVIDIA problem, not a Linux one, and I really don't see it being solved. I finally gave in and replaced a perfectly functional 3070Ti with a 7900XT and damn, wish I'd done this a long time ago! Just works straight out of the box with wayland.
