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.

As I mentioned in another comment, in my experience Nouveau does a much better job with multi-display and multi-GPU systems than Nvidia's proprietary drivers. Unfortunately Nouveau's actual hardware support is somewhat limited, so that is only relevant for a subset of Nvidia GPUs.
I, too, don't want any more Nvidia hardware.
Thanks for the info!
Nouveau at least for the GPU I've got is worse than just using integrated graphics
nouveau is hardly better than software rendering in most cases. heck, for pretty much every GPU from the last decade, it isn't even able to adjust the GPU clock frequency (so it's permanently stuck on the lowest frequency).
