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.

Thank you !!
I'm currently looking into xfce vs KDE plasma, something I need to pay attention to is a DE with x11 because nvidia hasn't fully supported wayland ?
Am I right to consider it that way? Or do both support nvidia drivers?
I'm sorry, I only use debian as bare bone on my server and currently considering to switch my main desktop from windaube to linux and alot of informations on the web seem contradictory or incomplete :/
I run AMD now but ran Nvidia for years (RIP Evga). I had no issues with ether DE, other than the occasional update breaking things (only an issue with Sid) but that's what you use timeshift to rollback for when something breaks and apt-listbugs to be aware of issues before you update.
Note you can swap between X11 and Wayland on KDE by just changing the session on login.
Thanks :) good to know I can switch between those two in KDE ! I need to test Plasma and xfce to see wich fits better my needs and has better suppport for my system !
Thanks for the clarification !!
