For all the doubters that Linux gaming is smoother and faster. (video.hardlimit.com)

A video for any doubters that Linux gaming is better than Windows in which it DESTROYS Windows by 25% in AC Odyssey. To put it in perspective, 25% improvement is like getting a new GPU. You can save $600 and instead use something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for free.

DISCLAIMER: I don't really care to make Linux look better but I did a video some days ago and EVERYONE (on Reddit) told me Linux gaming CANNOT be faster or smoother. This is the proof it's both and more videos will be coming.

Haven’t watched the video yet but I’d like to add from my very limited experience. I recently switched to Kubuntu (still have my windows boot) and the one game I play (Red Dead Redemption 2) seems to be running worse. I haven’t done much testing at all so it could be something I can adjust and get running better.

Having said that, general day-to-day performance is miles ahead of my Windows install.

If I could get RDR2 to run better on Linux and DaVinci Resolve to run I’d have no need to keep my Windows install.

Huh, doesn't DaVinci have a native Linux port? Is it that bad?

[–] governorkeagan@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Technically they do but it isn’t supported on all distros. They officially support centOS 8, RHEL and one other that I’m forgetting.
