Nouveau VS NVIDIA GNU/Linux driver comprassion
Which indicators and arguments are objective in favor of both sides?
Especially, on the example of Source games.
What's the difference in FPS for both?
Which difference will be if we should compare OpenGL & Vulkan in both cases?

The difference is huge, The Proprietary drivers perform at least 300% better than the Nouveau drivers. Just install Nvidia, Or get a AMD card if you want FOSS drivers :)

Yeah what he says.

Basically nvidya doesn't support any open-source solutions. nouveau has poor conditions as not all chipsets have good 3d acceleration, video de|encoding, gpgpu support.

Nouveau doesn't even work on my laptop with Nvidia Optimus, just sends the machine straight to a black screen before it can boot my DE. The Nvidia package works like a charm and never gave me any issues.
