I want to know how much privacy I’m losing by using proprietary drivers on Debian for gaming. Can anyone help? I would very much like to know that.

Can proprietary drivers fetch my activity on other apps I’m running on my PC, or on the Internet? And so on. Thank you.

    Yes. Any software that can’t be audited, is a privacy breach because we can only trust that the seller is telling the truth “the driver just does the thing it was made for and nothing else.” and most of the time we have seen how this trust has been “betrayed” and the program does other things it should not do.
