    AMD's Vulkan driver for Windows has developed a reputation for
    instability. Meanwhile, Linux RADV is generally praised for its
    stability and performance, sometimes running faster than the AMD
    Windows driver, especially on older cards. With a rapid
    development schedule, it also generally sees fixes and speed
    upticks often.

Developing drivers for Windows isn’t easy, though.
