Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games - Linux 17% faster on Average::Computers, hardware, software and gaming in Spanish and English
Not only in games, I switched from Windows 10 to LXQT and I can finally open more than 3 programs at the same time without the pc hanging for 10 seconds every time I switched between programs
why aren’t game producers releasing versions of the game compiled for debian ubuntu and other lInux distros?
Too much effort for too little market share. But since the Steam Deck is popular, it’s harder to ignore Linux.
Yeah, 1.63% is really not a lot at all (according to the Steam Hardware & Software Survey: September 2023). Tbh from a pure business point of view I’m surprised any of the bigger developers bother at all.
Doesn’t really surprise me, I’ve had a Steam deck since launch and the performance on Windows titles has always been impressive, even considering its relatively low-end hardware.
The only thing preventing me from dual-booting my desktop is lack of software RAID support in most distributions (by this I mean RAID configured in the BIOS but not using a dedicated hardware controller).
To be fair, that bios-managed RAID is still using a hardware controller. It’s embedded in the motherboard.
Anyway, hardware RAID is discouraged in home/workstation environments as you don’t have control over how the controller implements it. So if the board breaks, it’s harder to retrieve your data.
Linux has support for real software RAID, for example using LVM or filesystems that have that feature. It’s easier to setup than it may sound. Most distributions can enable that during installation of the OS.
But what about Fortnite and Valorant?
Not to sound sarcastic, but only 17% faster than the operating system known for being an appallingly bloated stack of adware garbage that most people cant get away from because of compatibility? Thats surprisingly low, honestly.
I don’t think you understand. This is windows games running on Linux through proton. If the games were built and optimized for Linux they’d perform even better
But Windows is usally the system the games are optimized for. Its impressiv how well proton/wine work these days :)
Usually yes, but i thought we were talking about linux gaming, as in games made for both platforms
