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.

I have an older laptop with an Nvidia GPU, and it runs Bazzite mostly fine. There's a few annoying things, but that's mainly a product of Nvidia + X11. Playing games on it works just as well as my Steam Deck, and I've even rebased a couple of times due to (usually upstream) bugs that affected my specific setup.
I can also vouch for Bazzite, and it's the distro I'm using as a comparator as I'm looking for a replacement on my main desktop.
ETA: I've also dabbled a little with Silverblue and Kinoite, and they feel just as solid and "complete."
