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.

Is explicit sync a good enough solution to make wayland gaming with nvidia a reality(+ remove window flickering like some people claim it will)? It's the last obstacle I find now trying to move my main pc to linux, and I don't really want to use x11.
Pd. Lesson learned, next time I'll get an AMD gpu.
If you really want to switch there isn't really any reason to not use X.
If you really want to use Wayland I guess it will take a while longer. It's not really 100% foolproof even if you get AMD. The vast majority of apps on Linux are designed for X and XWayland isn't completely ready either.
Is there any performance difference between KDE and GNOME?
Nope.
How can I hide a pinned post without blocking the poster? It bothers me having this at the top of my list all the time, like some reminder on my phone I can't ack and make go away.
