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.

Their drivers are garbage to get installed and keep updated, especially when new kernels come out

Sure, but it's not the case for all Linux distributions? Whenever my Linux distribution have a new kernel it always takes care of the nvidia driver as part of installing the kernel and if there's a new nvidia driver it installs it after a few days, I never pay much attention to it except for noticing the output from the update.

except when using newer kernels and the nvidia gpu not being updated enough
