> IMO Linux still has pretty poor graphics drivers

The situation is like this: https://preview.redd.it/79011affulj11.png?width=800&format=p...

nVidia: I've been gaming on nVidia proprietary drivers without any issues. Though most demanding games were CS:GO and The Talos Principle.

AMD: At work I'm on workstation with some 2 years old Radeon and AMDGPU drivers (mainline). No issues so far.

Intel: I'm using it on my laptop. No issues so far.

What poor graphics drivers do you have in mind?

I mean you linked the meme? That pretty well sums things up. Like I said in my original comment, workstation graphics cards tend to do great, as do older graphics cards.
I've used mix of old and new graphics cards and I have never experienced issues with drivers related to how recent the graphics card was. The few issues I had were always with the driver itself. And I've never used workstation-grade graphics card, always consumer ones.
