AMD drivers for GNU/Linux
I know that Mesa or AMDGPU-Pro drivers are improving GNU / Linux.

Can any of you tell me by accident?

RadeonSI is now offering faster OpenGL rendering in most games compared to AMDGPU-Pro, only RADV (FOSS Radeon Vulkan implementation) lags behind AMDGPU-Pro's proprietary Vulkan but it's catching up.

As long as you're using a bleeding-edge distribution like Archlinux, Antergos, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, or Ubuntu with w/ 3rd party Mesa & kernel repository, AMD drivers have improved a great deal (in the last year) to the extent that they are now decent choice for Linux gaming. AMD also provides a better Wayland experience as their drivers support XWayland (Linux steam games running in an X-client on-top of Wayland). Nvidia has said they don't intend to support Xwayland with their proprietary driver, meaning a full-blown X-server must be ran to play Steam games as none of them support pure Wayland yet.
