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.

Works fine with the nvidia open drivers, what gpu you got
Geforce GTX 1080
I'm rolling a 1080 on Bazzite and it's worked great for me, as well as NVIDIA does on Linux generally. Which is to say, much better than it was 2+ years ago but still could do with some improvements.
That's promising to hear! For the drivers are you using Open GPU?
I still have to look into the 1080s compatibility with this. Thanks OP for mentioning it.
Turing or newer. 20XX or 16XX and newer.
Like the other poster said, the open drivers aren't for the 10-series and earlier. It's because the microcode that NVIDIA wants to keep proprietary is within the GPU on later series, rather than the driver.
