I just saw the GamersNexus benchmarks and I wondered to myself, why do they have so many problems with Nvidia on Bazite? I’ve used PopOS with my RTX 30 graphics card and I’ve essentially had performance parity with Windows.
Do you guys think they misconfigured something in the background or do you think that the driver has just gotten worse? What are your experiences?


Sure, but FWIW I play from AAA to indies and it “works” as in no bug, no noticeable visual glitch.
I don’t benchmark from my driver version to the previous one on Windows or Linux, I just play.
I would notice if something was blatantly wrong e.g 50% performance hit, but I wouldn’t if it’s 5% hit. I don’t really care for it as it doesn’t affect my gameplay. Like I said, it’s from a casual player, not a pro player nor a game tinkerer.
PS: I’m also a developer of XR content so I’m relatively confident I’d spot any significant problem.
