I use Linux as my daily OS, for study and work. I primarily game on it as well!
Every game that I've tried on Linux runs smoother (less 1% lows) than on Wind0ws. I assume it's because of the bloat on win11, but then again I researched as much as possible to clean up and optimize win11. Still runs much better on Linux. I mainly play Apex Legends, and though I don't consider myself good, I was D3 in S15.
The biggest issue is dealing with the games that use Anti-cheat systems that put kernel-hooks on wind0ws, which can't be emulated.
That’s very cool! In general, assuming a game runs well through proton, how’s the gaming performance between Linux and the same hardware on Windows? (You mentioned 1% lows are better, but what about average?)
I’m not super familiar with proton so I would think running in proton has some performance hit; is this not the case?
it really depends on the game. most will be just about the same (in my experience), but some are worse and some are better. It does help to have a lightweight DE/WM.
