Read dead redemption 2 crashes entire system during benchmark
If RADV hangs rdr2 at the moment you can temporarily switch to amdvlk, you can also switch on a game-to-game basis without rebooting or anything. You can get it from the release section of their github: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK. But keep in mind that amdvlk will make itself the default as long as you have it installed.

Proof 7900XTX VR issues ARE due to a driver problem, not hardware (Linux v. Windows timing graphs)
Other parts of the stack can be released, and I'd bet anything that AMD's vulkan driver, amdvlk, is at least very similar to the windows implementation, just with a different PAL backed by whatever the windows systems are instead of libdrm.

Steam games using Vulkan fail to launch
Switching from RADV to AMDVLK fixed the issue. I haven't noticed any performance differences once the shaders are compiled.

Problem with deep rock galactic
Looks like an issue with a more recent version of amdvlk (https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/issues/278). Some people resolved by uninstalling amdvlk, but I was able to launch it with amdvlk still installed by using the launch options settings I've provided with this report.

dear nvidia driver developers.
That's the wrong repo for AMDVLK. You have to look at these https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/llpc https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/xgl https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/pal And this is also just the user space vulkan driver that nobody uses, the real driver you should look at is radv, which was initially written by red hat and Bas Nieuwenhuizen, and is maintained by Bas (afaiu as a hobby) and a team of Valve contractors. And then there's radeonsi, which is now mostly maintained by AMD, but has seen a lot of third party contributors over the years, and amdgpu + the display stack, which is mostly worked on by AMD.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing AMDVLK and llpc you can also consider the following projects:
mesa - Mesa 3D graphics library (read-only mirror of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/)
xgl - Vulkan API Layer
yuzu - Nintendo Switch emulator
pal - Platform Abstraction Library
vulkan-guide - Introductory guide to vulkan.
Hyprland - Hyprland is a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
steam-runtime - A runtime environment for Steam applications
proton-ge-custom - Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components
llvm-project - The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies.
