Me personally I am not very interested in the performance comparison between Linux and Windows.
Very fair, it’s not really the reason I made the jump either. I would like to see that tackled at some point though, perhaps with some external recording setup to eliminate the apple/orange comparison issues between benchmarking tools.
I switched about a year ago, and was remarkably impressed to see performance gains or only minor decreases in everything I compared, when running my own benchmarks. I’d love to see that result more widely reported, and also academically to see it validated better than I can, across more hardware and games and with better methodology.
Even if not though, really glad to see Gamer’s Nexus taking it seriously and giving us some of the same access to information as we would have comparing hardware for a Windows config. Definitely wishing them the best as they explore automation and even more tooling to make this better.
gaming has really been flawless, in my experience, the past year on proton.
I had a lot of issues playing games in the past, that were usually resolved with proton updates or switching to GE Proton… but the past year? I’ve had zero issues playing anything. The past hear has been so smooth as to, honestly, make me forget I’m playing on linux from time to time.
The only real issue I have left is fooling around in single player games (Which i have beaten many times and just futzing around in to play with, and NOT in any way impacting any kind of online play… hell, the games I’m futzing around in don’t even have online components) with cheat engine/save editors/etc… For some reason recently cheat engine/pince has stopped working, even on games i used to use it on, and cant seem to even find the game memory addresses anymore… and trying to get windows based save editors and stuff installed has been kinda painful… and certain mods, like for Cyberpunk, I’ve never gotten to work. Minor side issues most people wont ever run into. Which is why its understandably still difficult. get shit running like butter, than worry about edge cases and shit like this.
