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.

Causes are a part of the reality. And when people go online and complain about how "lInUX SuXxx" because their proprietary Nvidia drivers didn't work, and blame the OS instead of the company who is meant to be providing proper support for their devices or at least documentation for other developers to use, it plants the idea in people's minds that the OS itself is simply inferior, which has connotations of it just being a bad system. Instead of "it will work perfectly when drivers are actually released by the manufacturer". It tarnishes it's reputation even after that particular device gains support, and that is another reason why adoption is low.
Hell, nVidia was actively working against having a working opensource driver reverse engineered by Nouveau. Linux is a thorn in their side and the only reason they somewhat support it today is that GPU compute works so much better on Linux.
