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.

NVIDIA graphics is already well supported by cosmic-comp for those that want to give it a go on Pop!_OS. I'm typing from a laptop with NVIDIA hybrid graphics in the discrete graphics mode. Hybrid and integrated graphics modes are also working well. In addition to the iced library, slint is already a decent alternative to QML.
