    In many games it does, but I’m not sure this comparison is a good example of that, as it shows persistent CPU stutter on Linux. With those spikes, Windows would be the smoother experience even if the average frametimes are slightly better on Linux.

    I’m not exactly playing anything new but I’ve been playing Grounded (the first one) on Window for like 2 months. My computer was so hot it was warming up my entire room.

    I switched to Linux due to other Microsoft issues and decided to give it another shot. Man, my computer doesn’t really get warm at all. Like yeah I can see the temp monitor change a little bit but not much. There’s no hot air pouring out of my PC. I’m not sweating sitting next to it.

    I’ve made no changes to any game settings (other than using proton) or hardware changes. It’s an insane difference.

      I love Vulkan so much. Having everything precompiled ahead of time is probably a big contributing factor on why your machine is running cooler. It’s just pulling from the shader cache instead of doing on the fly computation for shaders.

    It’s laughable because all Linux gamers have is amateur benchmarks that don’t account for 1% lows, shader cache stutters, selective picking, and no frame-by-frame analysis. There’s no mention of input lag, frame timing issues, or whether the game can even be completed on Linux (some are broke for frame timing issues).

    Pushing this kind of nonsense is assholey to people that might be willing to risk damaging hardware to run Linux.

      how does anything handle raytracing? I watched a friend with a 5090 show off his bullshit money rig and maybe it was a 4k monitor or something, I didn’t check, but it wasn’t performant enough to impress me at that price range. Its probably also lack of optimization and nobody ever leaving the default unreal engine visuals.

        Just living in an alternate reality here.

        My 4090 handles cyberpunk 4k with path tracing at 120+ FPS.

        Linux is objectively inferior when it comes to high fidelity gaming and it very clearly triggers some linux nerds.
