one of the many versions of linux
it's an open source, decentralized system so anybody is free to repackage the OS with their own customizations and distribute it as a "distro"
there's literally hundreds of the shits but the most important ones are arch, mint, debian, fedora and ubuntu
steamOS is based on arch, while nobara is based on fedora

Shit is still slower on average.Only few games have better performance on Linux, rest is just slower.

the fact that performance is comparable while one has to run through an additional translation layer (since the games are not linux native) is still impressive

what exactly is the deal here? are amd drivers shit on windows or are nvidia drivers terrible on linux?

amd drivers on linux have always been more stable and with plenty of community driven solutions and fixed
nvidia drivers on linux are basically new, lots of linux distros are pretty much unusable for gaming if you have an nvidia gpu, and only recently there has been a surge to try and make them more usable cause due to steam os and more generally proton advancement, more people are trying linux on pc than before, so while before it was normal for people to know in advance that gaming on linux = amd, now more people want to try linux on their windows pc regardless of what gpu they have

in short, for the longest time it was
>i wanna game on linux, so im building an amd pc cause amd drivers are near perfect on linux
more recently it became
>i have a windows pc with an nvidia gpu, but i wanna try gaming on linux
so nvidia drivers for linux are getting more work recently, but are still far from being stable and usable from your average joe

to give a comparison, i have a high end PC with windows on, and everything runs on it of course
i also have a low-mid end couch/living room PC with bazzite(custom linux OS with Steam OS gaming mode) with an amd gpu
of the games i have installed on that low-mid end and linux pc, all of them run flawlessly out of the box
if i install linux on my main high end pc, more than half won't run with the same performance or won't even run at all

it's an inverse of how drivers are on windows

This is a common misconception. Given the same hardware GNU/Linux isn't doing anything that NT doesn't also have to do.

Win32 games are no more native on a VMS clone like NT than they are on GNU/Linux based platforms. Both platforms run games for a fantasy "Windows" platform that doesn't actually exist outside of their respective compatibility layers.
GNU/Linux does tend to use user-space implementations of graphics APIs, but when graphics hardware vendors tend to implement high-level APIs using their own internal mid-level APIs, and the quality and standard compliance of those drivers varies wildly, user-space implementations written using the low-level Vulkan standard aren't really at a performance disadvantage.
Especially when there is as much documentation and experience working with a hardware architecture like there is for GCN/RDNA.

Whole reason that DXVK took over. Vendor specific drivers like Gallium Nine didn't offer enough advantages.

you mean were
it's been quite a few years that amd drivers aren't as buggy as they used to be, and for the past year or so there hasn't been any major issue, and the few issues that happened were minor and resolved with hotfixes that were released 1 week from og release at most
on the other hand nvidia drivers have been more than once buggy or unstable multiple times since the last generation(4000 series), with fixes only coming several weeks later if not months later in the next driver versions, with the most common suggested "fix" being to jusr revert to the previously working driver version

amd were the laughing stock on windows for their driver mess for a long time, but that has ended quite some time ago despite people keep pushing this meme, and recently nvidia is being a mess

AMD drivers are FOSS and a part of kernel, and are supported by AMD. Nvidea drivers are proprietary, there's an open source implementation but njudea is hampering its progress.

Nvidia has an absolute metric fuck tonne of issues on Linux but it's been slowly getting better over the last year, but progresses in bug fixing has been excruciatingly slow since they very much don't seem to give a shit about it and only have a small handful of devs allocated to it. There are several bugs that are marked as known that have been open for multiple years.

AMD lets retards do it for free. NJEWDIA values their Apple complex too much for that.
Funnily enough this is part of the reason why NVIDIA cards perform worse on console hardware too.

Valve literally fixes the AMD drivers.
Yes I am not kidding. They have multiple full time VALVE devs working on the AMD drivers at all times
