Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average

I don't think the issue is performance though. The unspoken part of this comparison is in bold:

"Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games. In the games we could find that work on linux, the performance was 17% faster on average. In all the rest of the games, Windows worked 100% better."

Permanently Deleted

It's a shame I need Adobe to run flawlessly for work or I'd switch over. I'm so tired of Microsoft.

With all the historical windows bloat that's not surprising lol

Aside from performance, I also noticed that older PC games work better on Linux than Windows nowadays. I really enjoy playing games from the late 90's to early 2000's, and they tend to run great on Linux with proton. Just the last year I've played all of Baldurs Gate 1, Icewind Dale 1 and Icewind Dale 2 on my scrappy Lenovo laptop and it's been great.

I like how they show ffxiv, do addons work too though? I can't play without dalamud (I can but, fuuuck) so that's 1 down already.

This is incredible. It's time for me to setup à Linux dual boot to give it a try 😎

With proton the benefit can be +/- by quite a large margin to the point where I wouldn't rely on this data to say that Linux is faster by default. Though it's promising that Linux CAN compete with windows in performance despite the added layer of abstraction necessary to run many titles.

Beauty of DXVK.

PS: works on Windows too.

17% faster than the majority of other players out there is kind of cheating, if you think about it.

Great, but I can still only realistically play a portion of my library with friends on Windows.

I found these comparisons not useful. Nobody play on Linux for searching for performance, but to avoid switch os only for playing.
