What's wrong with the Nvidia drivers for Linux?

They're garbage. They're bad enough that If you have an Nvidia GPU, it's borderline impractical to game on Linux. You can, but you'll be cutting framerates in half or more in many cases.

		That’s a wild exaggeration. Yes they underperform relative to the Windows drivers but my experience is far from “cutting framerates in half” nor “borderline impractical”. I’ve had the last four generations of Nvidia card (currently on 5070Ti) on Linux and played demanding games just fine.

In practically every benchmark the Linux Nvidia drivers notably underperform compared to the windows driver.
