What is this trying to prove? It's just one random page of a publicly editable wiki. AMD/Intel having more entries may just be because it is more popular (which it is indeed), or because (being opensource) it is actually easier to debug+solve problems, and/or a million other reasons.

Frankly, I think all the argument you need is that despite the huge advantage nvidia has on other platforms, it is almost completely reversed (even on steam) for Linux. It conveys very heavily that at least nvidia has a very poor reputation on Linux desktops.
