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'm hoping the recent explosion of AI/ML stuff will create more incentives for them to have proper support for desktop Linux, but I'm not counting on it.
Those are different drivers, or rather different parts of the driver.
CUDA has been a staple in HPC for years now and the situation didn't exactly improve.
I mean the number of people using beefy Linux workstations with desktop environments is likely to increase because of it, not referring to the datacenter market they're already entrenched in.
