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.

Been using nvidia cards/drivers for the past 20 years. Never had an issue with the drivers breaking or depreciating(?) my hardware. My current card, a 1060 6gb, has been in constant use for the past 7.5 years with no measurable drop in performance, using official drivers.
I have a quadro k2000m in my laptop. Cannot use modern drivers, and old drivers slowly have their support dropped by everything else. If the chip works then the drivers should as well.
AMD does not have this problem. AMD has open source drivers. If NVIDIA made their drivers open source then it would not be a problem.
