Should I use the proprietary drivers? How much fps do I loose if I use the open drivers? I use ChimeraOS (Arch Linux)

No. The open source drivers are better at almost everything. The only reasons to use the propriatary one is if you need some OpenCL improvements of if you are using a Radeon Pro GPU. For normal usage and gaming the open source driver will offer more performance and better compatibility.
I wish Nvidia was the same story
As far as I know, the open source drivers are recommended for AMD - my driver installer in Mint doesn’t even list proprietary drivers.
