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.

Not Nvidia, they do not play well with Linux. I've had all sorts of weird problems that I've traced back to driver errors caused by Nvidia, both proprietary and open source.
If you do already have an Nvidia GPU, may I suggest trying Bazzite? They have an Nvidia spin that solves a lot of those problems.

Thanks I'll give that a look. Everything is working well right now but I'm sure it will all break again when I finally update to Luner Lobster.
I'm on a 2060 super with Manjaro and I haven't had any issue with drivers other than when I accidently uninstalled all the drivers at once, and then it was just a matter of running a command found from googling to get it back up and running.
I haven't tried an AMD card, and I'm strongly considering it for my next, but I just haven't seen you have a issues people report.
