    I’ve not run windows for years, but I straight up refuse to believe there’s a seventeen percent performance uplift. Magic does not exist. Linux must be skipping some rendering.

      They’re a bunch of cherry-picked games that have a decent amount of Linux work run on pretty solid Linux hardware that performs well. The tests are legit. They just don’t generalize.

      Or maybe Windows 11 is just as heavy as shit.

      You’ll be surprised to learn how much overhead Windows has and how much system resources they take up to keep all their trackers and bloat running in the background. It really makes a startling difference when you switch to a Linux OS. It can even make your hardware feel more powerful, because it only needs to deal with the game’s performance, and not also running a shitton of unneeded services in the background all the time.
