This is very outdated.

  • Catalyst doesn't exist anymore, it was replaced by AMDGPU-PRO years ago.
  • The Radeon Mesa driver (radeonsi) is generally faster than AMDGPU-PRO OpenGL for gaming, and has been for years. On the Vulkan side, performance is usually fairly close between the Mesa driver (RADV), AMDVLK and AMDGPU-PRO.
  • AMDGPU is just the kernel driver, which is used by both the Mesa drivers and AMDGPU-PRO, so why is it listed separately?
  • For Intel, I think the hardware was holding it back more than the driver, especially since they've replaced the classic Mesa drivers with Gallium based ones. But now they're doing the Arc stuff.
  • I don't know if I would say that Nvidia proprietary runs well

So as a RX580 user I should be using Radeon Mesa driver?

Yes. The default out of the box experience is pretty great with AMD + any mainstream distro.
