Interesting video showing almost no difference in performance between gaming distros and Windows 11 LTSC. What is your opinion on this?

My opinion is Microsoft better watch the fuck out, because Linux is coming for their asses in gaming. If Linux can break even 10% of the gaming market, it's going to get crazy momentum behind it.

    My primary PC gaming method these days is a steam deck. I seriously check compatibility before I buy games now lol. My desktop has been collecting dust for months, but even then it's primary OS is Linux. I used to boot into windows for a couple games specifically due to issues I experienced with wine but things are so much better now I don't even know the last time I booted windows.

    Hopefully once Linux gets a big enough market share, the devs that don't have Linux compatibility for their anti-cheat start adding it. That'll really expedite its growth in the personal computer market. I think a lot of people would at least attempt to switch to Linux if you told them it was free and would run Call of Duty better.

    Linux really needs decent compatibility with Adobe products, evil as they are. Linux is catering to gamers now, the coders are already there, and it totally works for the people that just need a web browser, word processor, e-mail, and some communication programs. If it can do what artists need it to, using the industry standard programs, to what other group of PC users is there to appeal?

    If he wanted to compare the tweaks made by the distro, he should have used proton experimental for all distros, not just Bazzite. We already know there won't be much of a difference in performance but he's literally introducing another variable to compare which makes the comparison less clear on whether performance differences are due to the distro's kernel tweaks or due to different proton versions.
