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.

Well, that’s not my experience with Nvidia and Linux, always breaking everything trying to use the Nvidia driver, or updating it.
Specially when trying to do both gaming and CUDA on the same OS, making it work with one always broke the other. I had to have two installations, one for machine learning and the other as daily driver and gaming.
I never used CUDA so maybe that's why I had so little issues.
