Rant about Nvidia related updates on Linux
(media.kbin.social)
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.

Intel has the best software support - AMD just has more powerful hardware and good enough software support
nvidia has the best hardware on paper, but no software support
A large number of games support Linux natively thanks to Valve’s pushes, and use OpenGL
DXVK (directx to vulkan) is one of the more popular translation layers for other games
Intel also uses DXVK on Windows to help with older versions of DirectX (primarily DX9 afaik) on their ARC cards
