> The thing is - nVidia uses shared source for all of their drivers. This is why you always have the newest GPU feature support and performance on their Linux driver - it's the same codebase as it is for Windows and was for macOS. The same is true of AMD, they share most of their display configuration code (in the kernel) and userspace code between a set of drivers on Windows, Linux, and macOS; they just also publish documentation and redistributable firmware, and maintain a second very-high-quality driver in Mesa, and due to the availability of documentation and that Mesa GL driver, there is a second Vulkan driver (RADV) which is also excellent.
