I personally have not moved to Linux as my daily juuuust yet, so I’m relatively uninformed, but I am curious. What were these “proprietary” versions the article mentions before the open source ones that it’s comparing against? Were they also Nvidia released, just closed source, or would those be from OEMs (Dell, Lenovo, etc) who include Nvidia hardware in their laptops/desktops that are shipping with Linux installed by default?

Closed source Nvidia binaries.
Linux is very open source oriented. So the idea of blindly installing a binary rubs a lot of people the wrong way.
I think it also makes it harder to debug issues, and you are completely at the mercy of Nvidia.

So, open source (even partially) is a step in the right direction.
I think AMD has open source drivers

Yes, the AMD open source drives is what allowed valve to make RADV the steam deck vulkan driver, and with that a lot of fixes, that’s in my opinion the biggest upside, allow others companies like Valve, red hat, canonical,etc to help fix the drivers
