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.

They would only be defaulting on supported hardware. Nvidia added support last year, but there were still external issues like explicit sync and also Plasma 5 was problematic. Plasma 6 is a giant leap comparatively and only came out in February. There is a lot of Nvidia dGPUs out there. Steam surveys have had it around 70% of steam installs and that includes Intel and AMD apus as well as the dGPUs.
