You seem to be really ruffling feathers with these comparison tests. Who'd have thought they'd be so controversial?
Thanks a lot for posting! I find them interesting!
I'm glad OP's linux gaming experience is so much better than it is on windows. I don't say this to cast aspersions but if the results were reliable and repeatable, people like christitus, gardiner and many others would make daily videos on the topic just to get all the views(dollars) it would surely generate. It would cause a seismic shift in the PC gaming space.
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" - Sagan
Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but I don't think OP's claims are extraordinary. I think he's only saying "I've noticed Linux can outperform Windows on programs that are optimized for Windows. Kinda unexpected, but here are the benchmarks."
OP is not claiming that this is true in 100% of cases. For example, in this thread he points out that Windows outperformed Linux on Doom.
Noob question incoming; which one is which?
Fairly certain it's linux on the left using vulkan and windows on the right using dx12, which imo might be the cause of some of the discrepancy
I think so too, mainly based on the title and that the performance stats look like it does on my Steam Deck. Thanks for the reply!
On the left it's Linux and on the right it's Windows.
I tried to play Vermintide 2 on Linux after Windows kept giving me issues, but I couldn't get the Easy Anti-Cheat to stop freaking out about me playing on Linux.
I never found a fix for it, has that changed or is it just luck?
For vermintide 2, is it more stable in one OS than the other? I remember it being a wee bit buggy on Windows.
I haven't really played so I can't really tell you.
