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.

But Windows is usally the system the games are optimized for. Its impressiv how well proton/wine work these days :)

Usually yes, but i thought we were talking about linux gaming, as in games made for both platforms

I didnt watch the full Video, but all games i saw in the clip are native Windows games with no offical port for linux

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

I absolutely understand that, and nothing in my comment suggests otherwise?
