This is such a click-bait title, my God...

According to the article the only significant FPS gains are in the Performance mode. In Silent mode Bazzite has two FPS more in KCD2, and... one less in Hogwarts.

In Turbo mode, the difference is 5 FPS.

And even in Performance it's not like you're running at 13 FPS by default - it's 47 in KCD2 and 50 in HL.

They even provide a nice summary themselves - on average, Bazzite gains 6.6 FPS.

What do you get in return?

Not stability:

I have 512gb model and am running on low with FSR2 on balanced. The game keeps crashing during every play sessions

And you lose A TONNE of optional game stores, including the entirety of GamePass games.

I would get it if the difference was "20 FPS on Windows" and 50 on Bazzite", but come on...

The article said the frame rates are more stable under bazzite with windows fluctuating a lot more even at low power settings.

I read through that thread you linked and I didn't see bazzite mentioned anywhere.

Who the hell is still paying for game pass? Lol

I think that, as long as the framerate doesn't dip below 30, a regular human won't notice fluctuating FPS. It's something you'll see in benchmarks, but not in real life. For example: a friend of mine was playing Elden Ring and and Halo on the ROG Ally X and didn't notice any issues with stability or framerate. And he's pretty anal about this kind of stuff.

True, it was about Steam Deck performance. But I had similar experiences on Garuda Linux on my PC with Hogwarts. Every now and again it would just crash and burn. Got better after a Proton patch or two, but that's the problem with Linux gaming - you never really know what you'll get. With Windows, you don't have that issue at all.

Who the hell is still paying for game pass?

Come on, now. You can't be this childish.

games never crash on windows? lmfao

[-] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Games don't crash on Windows >because of Windows<. Games do crash on Linux >because of Linux<.

As in: games are inherently compatible with Windows, while on Linux you need Wine/Proton, which is just an extra layer of complication that can cause problems.

On older games, the opposite can be true, though. Games crashing on windows but NOT crashing on Linux.
