Oh it happens on Windows too, but wine adds some overhead, so you have less headroom on Linux. Same goes for DXVK / VKD3D - they add some CPU overhead.

Where are you getting these numbers? I have a 3080, used a 1080Ti before, and though my last direct comparison was a while (like a few years) ago, I had more like 3-5% difference in FPS in the games I tested, at most 10% in RS2 Vietnam, but this ultimately turned out to be a CPU bottleneck. I would assume (and, reading reviews on reddit, this seems confirmed) that the drivers have mostly gotten better since then.

When was the last time you used an Nvidia card under Linux? There are no performance issues compared to windows, haven't been any in YEARS.

If by that you mean ray tracing, no. Nouveau can't and won't ever, NVK might but it will take time.

As someone who has been using Nvidia and Linux nearly exclusively for many years, I am interested in the aspects you think their drivers suck in. I have had literally no problems with them in the past 2 years, performance is incredible, Wayland just works, ...

Just not true anymore. Must have been years ago that you used Nvidia on Linux. As someone who has been using Nvidia GPUs under Linux (Manjaro KDE mostly), recently also under Wayland (since plasma 6), I can attest that the experience is very good, no "tons of small issues".

Still though, since OP wants no proprietary drivers, he has to go for AMD, since nouveau is dog shit.

Are you really this braindead or are you just on Xi's or Putin's payroll?

The app will complain if the server has an incompatible version. Have had it happen a few times, but usually two or three minor versions difference should be okay.

Das FBI hat aber auch diverse male eigene Backdoors vorangebracht und sich in der Vergangenheit mehr verschlüsselungsfeindlich geäußert. Ist halt für die nur auch blöd, wenn der Feind statt einem selbst die Daten hat, dann lieber niemand.

Integration at a level a browser can't offer. Most importantly, imo, a browser can't bind global keyboard shortcuts for websites. So push to talk, mute keybinds, ... don't work in the browser version.

Or any global shortcuts (i.e. to mute oneself) for that matter. Pretty useless in a gaming context because of that imho

Laundry detergent is bad for the environment and, according to some studies, also for you. Scented versions even more so.
