So NVidia has an open driver now that does most everything the
proprietary driver does -- I think it only leaves out CUDA.
It certainly has Vulkan. I'm running the stuff now, because at one
point,
the proprietary binary blob had an issue with the 6.9 kernel. Used it
for a long gaming session last night, and knock-on-wood, it was
flawless.
The game -- Elite Dangerous Odyssey -- uses DX, which proton translates
using DXVK into Vulkan calls.

NVidia says they are transitioning to the open driver. Good for them!

Is there a chance this open driver will be included in the kernel in
future releases? This actually solves a large amount of issues, and it
will definitely narrow the gap for game performance between Windows and
Linux (since the open-source AMD driver makes games run better in Linux
than in Windows).
Maybe the Steam Deck is doing better than I thought.
