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.

What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS? (endlesstalk.org)

Well for the most part Wayland ruined my experience but I'm willing to try again, just not in near future. (was using Fedore 38 KDE for 2months).

And for the rest, I assumed that most things that work with AMD on Windows will work also on Linux since I had that experience on PoPOS with NVIDIA about 4y ago.

Mainly GPU accelerated rendering in Blender which requires the AMD proprietary drivers and does not seem to work with MESA.

KDenlive only supports the AMD x264 encoder and not HEVC and Davinci Resolve has no support for AMD encoders on Linux. They all work fine with NVIDIAs NVENC though.
