No, AMDVLK is also a user space driver. You’re confusing it with AMDGPU, which is a kernel module.

I don’t think AMDVLK is even installed by default with Fedora. It can definitely be installed, but there’s not much reason to as it’s a really bad Vulkan driver.
The default driver used by Fedora is RADV. Steam/Proton does not choose your Vulkan driver. That’s why your games run well - you aren’t using the one made by AMD.
You’re missing my point. AMD’s official Linux drivers are ALSO garbage. Try it. Go install AMDVLK and check how well games work. You’re almost certainly using RADV, which was not developed by AMD.
What does that have to do with AMD’s driver support? AMD’s Linux Vulkan driver (AMDVLK) was so late and bad that Red Hat and Valve had to make their own (RADV), which is the default in Fedora and SteamOS. AMD’s first party drivers are still garbage.

Vash63@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•My impression of github since switching to Linux0·9 months agoYep. I’m Linux at home but macOS all day at work. My employer won’t let us use Linux workstations (despite everything I work on being Linux…). Both are vastly superior to Windows.
Vash63@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•My impression of github since switching to Linux0·9 months agoAs someone who works fairly extensively with all three major platforms… You’re definitely wrong about macOS here. Almost everything on GitHub that works on Linux also works on Mac, aside from GUI applications which are often more OS dependent. The readme pages often just lump Mac and Linux together as they can be pretty similar, especially for things written for interpreted languages (python) where it’s often literally the same.
We are now at the point where lobbying looks like a moral option compared to this shit
