From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I feel that "works" is a very broad term. It can work but doesn't mean that it will perform even or better in a good amount of games compared to Nvidia on Windows or AMD in Linux or Windows. Issues depends on specific games that one plays, one may be playing games that aren't prone for those issues reported.
Sure, but FWIW I play from AAA to indies and it "works" as in no bug, no noticeable visual glitch.
I don't benchmark from my driver version to the previous one on Windows or Linux or a price point equivalent with AMD hardware, I just play. I don't think anybody gain much from checking performance benchmarks before playing a game, at least I can say for sure to me that's not part of the fun.
I would notice if something was blatantly wrong e.g 50% performance hit, but I wouldn't if it's 5% hit. I don't really care for it as it doesn't affect my gameplay. Like I said, it's from a casual player, not a pro player nor a game tinkerer.
Working "better" on Windows means nothing to me. Either I can play and I'm happy or I can't (which never happened) then I'd be disappointed and potentially check why.
PS: I'm also a developer of XR content so I'm relatively confident I'd spot any significant problem.
