A project I have a very keen eye on is NVK, the open source NVIDIA Vulkan driver developed by the community (not NVIDIA), and it seems like progress on it is going rather well.

Echo has been playing around with NVK+DXVK a bit and has succeeded in getting some games playing. It's still early days and requires some hacks. However, there are a few titles working and I was able to demo Hollow Knight and F1 2017 at the Collabora meet-up in May.

Ooh, I was just looking for news on NVK like 4 days ago. Glad to hear its going well - I do wish that Nvidia would just get their heads out of the sand and improve their own driver, but that became a pipe dream long ago.

With Nvidia making progress on NVK, but still having proprietary DLSS, while AMD has great Linux drivers but they ignore them while pushing FSR-only on game devs...

I'm just so conflicted about what kind of GPU I'd like to have and which company I would like to support a few years down the line.
