Limited to amd though, yea? Nvidia still holding back their drivers?
Nvidia is their own worst enemy as regards Linux. When everyone realizes games work better under Linux and AMD, nVidia will be crying outside the gate. We're 5 years into Proton, in another 5 years there won't be a game that doesn't run better on Linux.

So you think Microsoft spends 8 billion dollars acquiring Bethesda Game Studios, Arkane Studios, id Software, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, ZeniMax Online Studios in 2020 and then proceeds to spend 68 billion dollars on acquiring Activision Blizzard...
... just to stand on the sidelines watching everyone drop Windows as a gaming platform?
Do you realize that it doesn't matter to them if gamers use Windows or not, right? Windows is big on the enterprise side, consumer OS is the least of their worries, and their gaming division doesn't lose anything if gamers run their games on Linux, thanks to steam actually. So no, I don't think that maters...
Not to mention that we're talking about Nvidia and having a shitty ass driver being a bad thing long term for them, not Microsoft.
Oh... The home users matters to Microsoft. A lot.
MS have been standing by the sidelines watching Google raking home all that sweet money made from all that personal data Android and Chrome users happily hand over.
Why do you think you're able to install Windows and use it without activating it? Because Microsoft are nice guys doing charity?
No. Microsoft aren't dropping the home market. They've just been repositioning themselves the last couple of years.1
