From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most of my info comes from this post: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/nvk-holiday-update.html
Performance boost isn't Vulkan-only. GSP reclocking benefits everything, Vulkan or otherwise. NVK is strictly a Vulkan driver, but Zink, which implements OpenGL on top of Vulkan, currently has better performance when used with NVK than the old OpenGL driver, so it can also be considered to improve performance across the board. Right now it's a pain to set up tho, since it's not ready for prime time quite yet. Can't really help you there, since I don't have Nvidia hardware. The Collabora guys say they want it to be in Fedora 40, which means NVK should start showing up in distros by next April. It'll probably be much easier to test things out by then.
