1 % lows are likely a driver thing (Nvidia calls it "Game Ready Drivers"), with Arch you'll get new drivers (or kernel versions) much earlier, similar to Windows.

Yeah, these are getting really annoying.

I swear people just scroll through lemmy, see a post they like and then think to themselves, "this is cool, I should post this on lemmy!"

It's okay. Lemmy isn't a wiki. Content is organized temporally. Imagine these conversations as bar conversations (just because one group had a conversation one night, doesn't mean another group can't repeat it the next). If you are annoyed that the algo keeps giving you the same stuff, sort by All and New Comments and you'll find niche communities to subscribe to.

As someone on Linux, and who thinks performance is generally slightly better on my machine after switching, I totally agree. This post has been old for a while now. Get some more data and then post that new thing or stop posting it.

Well sure but rephrased it's just "Three Linux distros that embarrass Windows 11 in gaming performance." which to me, is equally interesting.

About the same as Spiderman 2 or Ghost of Tsushima on Windows.

you mean the rootkits that won't run on Linux?

I'm on a desktop running Pop and I bet my system performs better than an equal Windows system. These handhelds are actual PCs, bud.

They're literally just PCs. They aren't some mysterious thing. They're using the same architectures a laptop or desktop would.

The article talks about those mobile systems, but the actual benchmark on Computerbase tested these on a desktop.

Ryzen 7 5800X

Scythe Mugen 5 cooler

Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming

32BG DDR4-3600-RAM (CL18-22-22-44)

Sapphire RX 6700 XT Nitro+

Tested @ 1080p 144Hz, Freesync Off

I'd be happy to help if you'd like I can play 90% or more of my library on Linux. Basically, if its in steam it's a cake walk. I recommend something like Mint cinammon or pop_os all you need is proton really. I can't run games with certain anti cheat like tarkov cause the anti cheat devs don't support Linux

What have you been doing. Cause for me it's just install steam enable proton and install pretty much any game on my library. Or install lutris login to my accounts and play epic games / gog games. It literally just works

YMMV of course but I was playing Timberborn just the other day on Mint, on an Nvidia card, through Heroic. Proton seems to have been a gamechanger. I have just made my first steps into switching my daily driver myself. I may have been lucky but all the games I have wanted to play have worked so far. I also have a Steam Deck, which is what has encouraged me that it may be possible.

Safe bet, they didn't. Seeing they're talking about the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.

radv is gradually catching up with amdvlk in terms of rtrt perf. could be worth using amdvlk for raytacing for now, though

It's how long it takes the system to render the next frame. High frame times are no good. Equates to lower average fps, and poor player experience. You also want stable frame times. This equates to smooth gameplay and less "stuttering". Anything under 20ms is considered good. 10ms and less is great. Anything over 50ms will be perceived by the player in a negative way.

Modern Linux kernel and steam with proton, and in a few instances lutris with wine. Unless it has anticheet, it’ll play pretty well.
