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.

this is the part where it doesn't work well and you are doing all these hoops to try and get something usable ;) what you consider "pretty much fine", "getting there", "worked for most cases" is all annoying and broken for others
compared to intel and amd, nvidia on linux is awful and full of roadblocks - i'll always recommend people stay away if they are going to use linux unless they are comfortable with all the pain
