It’s much slower on Linux vs Windows gaming for everything but OpenGL

I’ve also seen several reports of game crashes and major artifacts. AMD cards are way better on Linux.

It seems to have a lot of issues on Linux though. AMD is still the king on Linux if you want open source drivers and a decent GPU.

Its Linux performance leaves a lot to be desired… not even close to the 4060 on Linux

Yes! Now I get to continue enjoying the fruits of unpaid labor. Even better I’ll be able to complain about every niche issue I have without ever contributing anything. Woohoo!

KDE Neon using X11 with latest stable kernel+Mesa.

I run an RX6600 and haven’t had any freezing issues. Which version of Mesa and which games? If it’s all OpenGL games that would be rather strange.

You don’t remember gore in Fallout? There are meat bags, dismembered bodies hanging and spiked, limbs get blown/ripped off regularly, etc.

You can use holo-iso. Hopefully they’ll make it official eventually.

SteamOS is really evolving into something incredible. Now that it supports HDR and VRR it has become one of the best gaming experiences imo. It’s the fine tuning of a PC alongside the ease of use of a game console.

I use an RX6600 and I can tell you that I get a lot of loss when compared to Windows too.

You should also mention which nvidia driver you’re running btw

I’ve found that it depends heavily on what game you’re playing. I wouldn’t say 20% loss is uncommon.

You could try using a kernel tuned for gaming but it probably won’t make up the difference.

Honestly you’re probably better off not comparing to Windows. You’ll often fall short performance and feature wise.

Edit: I’ve also found that people tend to oversell Linux. We desperately want more users but exaggerations do more harm than good.
