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.

I'd be curious if there are any equivalent to ProtonDB on both compatibility and performance. The NVIDIA drivers are some of the last closed pieces in an otherwise mostly open system. I know I can get by with nouveau for 2D but if I want to model with Blender or play Baldur's Gate, even SteamVR games, I remain skeptical not just on absolute feasiblity (will it run) but also performances, i.g can I get more than 5fps.
you mean right now or in the future? because right now, forget about it. it's substantially better than it was before, but performance is still far behind proprietary drivers. it can do 3D, but don't expect the latest and greatest to work well. older games are much more likely to work well.
