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.

PopOS. They put ALOT of work into drivers for GPU's whereas Fedora don't. Also, Fedora is Red Hat so don't use them. They are evil.
Better to be Ubuntu based like PopOS
I don't get it, which work? On debian I run apt install nvidia-driver and everything works flawlessly. What do the pop_os driver do better? A GUI for that?
System76 scheduler for example, or working hybrid GPU setups on laptops thanks to their custom driver.
Canonical isn't exactly clean from controversy, and Ubuntu is a rather opinionated distribution. I appreciate how RedHat contributes upstream as much as possible, and how vanilla Fedora is. In my opinion, that makes for a better user experience.
