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.

Still went all AMD when I built my PC a couple of months ago. Plug and play is what it was, plug and play. Nvidia won't get any money from me until all their shit is open source.
I would love to buy an AMD, but I can't afford it, so I'm stuck with the Nvidia I have.
It. blows.
Find something used. If you have Facebook, see the market place. I don't have Facebook, my wife does, and I always find great deals on it. Bought me a Dell 27" 4 monitor for $80. That thing is used $275 used on Amazon. If no Facebook, then try eBay. Used is not that bad most of the time.
ebay seems to just be a place for scammers and people selling used items for new prices.
I've actually noticed that, too, but you can still run into good things, although very rarely.
