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.

It does not, that's why I am suggesting it.
@uis Performance is the problem. I play games and there is no alternative to proprietary drivers.
What card you are using?
@uis GTX 1070. The new open source driver from Nvidia does not support the 10x series, if your question should lead to that. But does not matter, because yesterday all PC parts of my new build has arrived and I will set it up this weekend. AMD+AMD now. Finally done with these Nvidia frustration.
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/FeatureMatrix.html says 1070 works fine, but without reclocking(on minimal speed). All thanks to nvidia DRM. And here DRM is not Direct Rendering Manager.
Congrats!
@uis I know about nouveau which is community developed. This is what I meant with the performance. It's not near on the same level as the proprietary. For gaming, this is not an option. But I thank you for the suggestions you made.
The best benchmarks I found is for the 20xx series, but look at the results to understand how big the difference is: https://www.phoronix.com/review/opensource-turing-3d/2

That's the level of difference we speak about.
