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.

Anyone tried the KDE variant with nvidia?
Not on fedora, but on Neon with a 3070. KDE 6 will lock up on Xorg, while electron apps will flash on Wayland, though there is a flag to enable Wayland support, it keeps dropping off of discord every time it updates. Running nvidia 550 proprietary, haven't gotten to use the open ones yet as I need cuda for work
Nobara 39 (Fedora spin) is amazing with KDE, 2080ti.
I have updated my existing installation of fedora 39 kde to 40 and the nvidia kernel module didn't load properly so nouveau was used instead, than I have redone the setup for the dmks because it wasn't present in the config file to load it and everything worked fine for now. Anyway on fedora 40 you need to install xorg yourself
