Recent testing revealed that Arch Linux, Pop!_OS, and even Nobara Linux, which is maintained by a single developer, all outstripped Windows for the performance crown on Windows-native games. The testing was run at the high-end of quality settings, and Valve's Proton was used to run Windows games on Linux.
article title: windows DEAD LAST!
also in the same article: “… When it comes to FPS, the overall leader in testing was Nobara Linux, with Arch Linux and Pop!_OS trailing by 1–5%. Windows 11, however, was only 6% behind Nobara Linux. So, **there isn’t a massive performance delta here, **”
Damn you really cut out the entire point of the fucking article right after that line. Wild.
“but it’s an important milestone for Linux to be consistently ahead of Windows — especially in games designed to run on Windows.”
gaming and the abundance of software and third party support and tutorials on windows is why I haven’t taken the dive to linux yet. So yeah, if linux does gaming as well or better my migration is more and more likely.
Exactly my point. I’ve been seriously fenceriding between Win 10 and Linux and the only thing stopping me is not having a second drive for dual boot and a distro that will let me game and do everything I’m doing right now, just better. Something like this does more than just perk up my ears.
is the point of article not to stroke the ego of the Linux absolutists that have some weird chip on their shoulders when it comes to video games?
I literally wrote the fucking point in the message you responded to.
For gamers, Linux has become the better OS.
