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.

When Starfield came out there was an nvidia driver thing that didn't work correctly in Linux but worked correctly in Windows, I can't even remember what exactly it was. This wasn't a proton, wine or bethesda thing, this was actually on nvidia's end. I waited months and months and months for a fix, the one guy working on it would reassure everyone in the forums it would get fixed "soon". I ended up getting an amd card instead. Having half decent drivers fixed a few other random issues too.

Legend has it that they're still "trying" to fix that one driver bug.
