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 the thing, ampere gpus (rtx 3000+) with the open kernel nvidia module is super solid on wayland now. Anything under rtx 3000 sucks.
I use a 1660 on fedora and have never had issues with GPU drivers, so like ximtor, I'm not understanding to problems people have. Maybe I lucked out, maybe I started using linux/fedora at the right time, who knows?
Isn't 1660 technically the same gpu as 3060? Or am I mistaken completely
