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.

To be honest, one of the reasons I switched from KDE (after 15+ years of using it) was the better X support on xfce. I use an nvidia card, so before I switch to wayland support for nvidia drivers has to be much much better.
I'm on AMD and have 3 monitors with 3 different resolutions and 3 different refresh rates, so X11 just doesn't work for me
That's a good reason indeed. I have three monitors myself but all the same refresh rate so it's all good on that end.
