Phoronix, a 10-year old linux-focused tech website, has benchmarked the latest Nvidia GeForce drivers and compared the results under Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8.1. The Ubuntu driver actually performed slightly ahead in a few tests. While Intel and AMD are considered better citizens in the FLOSS community, Nvidia has enjoyed a lead in technical performance with their proprietary drivers.
With increasing support from hardware manufacturers, and big names like Valve backing Linux, one of the last remaining pillars of Windows dominance on the desktop continues to be chipped away.
