Don’t see the point in an open source driver when Nvidia’s proprietary driver works perfectly and even has a nice settings utility which I haven’t seen on AMD since the old catalyst control center. AMD’s drivers on Linux can be confusing for new Linux users considering they have three(?) different drivers to choose from. Each of them have different ways to enable features like variable refresh rate. Linux community keeps pushing “AMD” as the go to option for gaming on Linux but simple things that are easily enabled via Nvidia’s control panel have to be manually set in the xorg config.
Most rolling releases so far I’ve used have an easy installer for Nvidia’s proprietary driver.
Only reason I see for the open source drivers is to solve problems with AMD’s driver. For example AMDGPU LLVM compiler was complete garbage so Valve created ACO.
