Have Nvidia drivers on Linux gotten worse over later generations? (lemmy.world)

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?

Like the other guy said I think this is a bazzite-induced problem. I have other Linux systems at home. My daily driver and my wife's daily driver are both highly custom Ubuntu server derivatives, we both have Nvidia GPUs (3050, 5070), and neither of us have similar issues.

The reason I wanted to try bazzite was that I didn't want to remotely support something super custom.

    Do you think you would have those issues that you are reporting if you were using AMD or Intel GPUs?

    I suspect the difference in experiences is more due to x11/pulse(my custom systems) vs Wayland/pipewire(bazzite) than it is any particular GPU vendor or driver branch. Which I guess is a roundabout way of saying

    Maybe? Probably?

    Judging by the protondb entry on CS2 I strongly suspect I would have at least the audio issue regardless of gpu.
