How is the video card driver support on Linux these days? I tried to completely switch my home PC over to Arch Linux about a year ago but I found that it was quite difficult to get decent performance on my AMD card due to the lack of quality drivers.

Has this changed since then? Is there a better distro for gaming/driver support? There is something to be said for all of my peripherals "just working" on win10.

AMD did release new open source drivers recently, and they are much better than the old proprietary fglrx, or at least squeeze much more out of my low end GPU and have better stability and fewer glitches.

Yes and mesa support is now at OpenGL 4.3, and soon 4.5.
