Linux still doesn't play nice with nvidia right? Last time I tried to daily drive it I had many issues with my dual monitor setup, where each monitor is a different resolution refresh rate and has gsync.

Has Wayland caught up to WDDM? Microsoft has been steadily improving multi monitor rendering, and this is the only reason I haven't switch yet

It's way better now. Matter fact, I swapped out my 3070ti for a Radeon 6900xt and I wish I hadn't. Nvidia cards have so much more to offer and I never really hit major limitations in Linux. Ironically Ive hit more with the Radeon card.

Personally I'm still on x11, and have had no issues big with the Nvidia drivers.

The only things are minor annoyances that come with the system being proprietary, ex. Driverctl entirely freezes up when trying to use on a Nvidia driver, and the driver won't let you live pass through a GPU like nouveau does (supposedly, it's too buggy so I've never been able to try)

I used to have strong opinions on my OS. Then I got a job and all I use is outlook and excel. Now I don't care about my operating system. I'm not even sure which version of windows I'm running without checking. 10 I guess?

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.
