AMD's open source driver is fully usable for normal usage (including gaming), and in general more performant than the closed source version.

Still behind the proprietary Windows driver or Nvidia's proprietary Linux driver.

They are not behind their windows driver on OpenGL. And neither for Vulkan, I think. AMDVLK scores a few wins here and there, but RADV is generally more stable, performant, and compatible. Plus being open-source, it is easily extended, like valve is doing with their AC0 experiment [1].

Last I heard, people were installing Linux to use the AMD OpenGL drivers to play emulators (it might have been Cemu, actually ran trough wine).

Can you share some source of your statement?
