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.

I can only speak for the desktop, not laptops, when I say it works perfectly on Gnome and KDE and even Hyprland which doesn't even officially support Nvidia hardware. That said, for the first time in two years I started having big issues with a few games (though, I don't play a large number of games so take this with a grain of salt). Right now, I have an xorg session on the side to play those games. Although, I'm starting to notice it's missing some things from Wayland that I've gotten accustomed to.
Wayland is expected to get much, much better when the 555 drivers drop explicit support in May and when proton enables the wine wayland drivers.
