From my limited research and understanding, Nvidia makes Linux drivers, but they’re closed source. These work fine. They open sourced some stuff but not enough to really change much yet.

There are also FOSS drivers, but the performance for those vary.

Is this correct? Should I stick to proprietary drivers if I want consistent performance?

    What are flatpaks anyway? They seem to be portable versions of software but they’ve always been slow for me

      I think they're just little container-mabobs that ship with all the dependencies. Like a windows exe but partially sandboxed. :shrug-outta-hecks:
