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 old Nvidia-Intel setup in my laptop, and dealing with that Nvidia driver is kinda of a hassle. Mostly it works fine thanks to mhwd (Manjaro's driver installation script), but damn, every time I reinstall the OS, it takes several hours for me to figure out what's wrong. Luckily I don't reinstall it too often, maybe every 5 years.
Before this I had AMD, and it always worked like a charm. And I've heard Intel's drivers are working well too.
Personally, I'm planning to go for AMD next time.
