I'll switch to Linux when I can play any game I choose to without any stuffing around, or when/if M$ start charging BS subscription.
The first point is 90%v available already with proton
The fact you have to mention Proton is his point.
I mean they basically do charge you since your data is being sold as the product.
AMD only and not Nvidia? That’s what I was seeing based on a quick search. Unfortunately, I don’t have an AMD GPU.
I’ve got an RTX 2060 mobile that I’ve been linux-gaming on for a few years now, it’s been great. I was getting consistent blue screen crashes with windows, even after multiple reinstalls. Ubuntu had some minor issues out of the box, like I had to find a program to control screen brightness, but PopOS has been literally flawless.
I’ve been saying for years now that gaming on linux feels faster. Most games get better framerates than they did natively on windows, but I’ve never known if that was unique to my setup. Really neat to have more data!
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
why aren't game producers releasing versions of the game compiled for debian ubuntu and other lInux distros?
Not really surprised.
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.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
