Death, taxes and this post on Lemmy
I still can’t get anything to run consistently in Linux after 10 years, and many, many distros. Timber born and Raft currently never open, no matter what. I a huge Linux user but the gamin experience has always been so finicky for me and no matter how much I try it’s still unattainable. And even when they run its with a lot of configution and tinkering unless it has native support. I have no issue with that but I’m so frustrated my experience with this seems so diffent than what everyone else is having. I want to delete my windows partition and it still feels so far away.
Damn, I was thinking about switching but I play alot of Timberborn.
I play quite a bit of timberborn, worked just fine. Had some sound issues but changing to proton experimental fixed them.
I’ve got >500hours in Timberborn on Ubuntu. Runs flawlessly and never had an issue.
this game is actually fun? what would you compare it to?
It’s Rimworld mixed with Sim City in an amusement water park.

It’s also technically a post apocalypse setting.
thanks im gonna try sexing with it

…switching to Linux might be worthwhile for gamers on the move looking to eke out every last drop of performance from the ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go.
So they’re talking about the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go not a desktop PC or a laptop. Nice clickbait.
They’re literally just PCs. They aren’t some mysterious thing. They’re using the same architectures a laptop or desktop would.
I’m on a desktop running Pop and I bet my system performs better than an equal Windows system. These handhelds are actual PCs, bud.
Okay. But it’s still a clickbait title. Seeing how they said nothing handheld PCs in the title.
The article talks about those mobile systems, but the actual benchmark on Computerbase tested these on a desktop.
Ryzen 7 5800X
Scythe Mugen 5 cooler
Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming
32BG DDR4-3600-RAM (CL18-22-22-44)
Sapphire RX 6700 XT Nitro+

Linux bros will take anything.
Microsoft bros in denial.
Linux runs windows software faster than Windows can run Windows software.
You don’t need to get upset by that. You don’t owe MS anything. Be happy that more people can game.
Imagine being this tribalistic over an OS. Get a hobby.
Other way around, mate. I’m not the one crying and coming up with excuses and whatabouts when OS A does better than OS B in a benchmark.
Microsoft has done nothing for you. They don’t love you. They’re a 2.8 trillion dollar company. They can get by without you carrying water for them.
Get a hobby.
Literally never said anything of the sort.
Please go outside and get out of this toxic thinking. It’s not healthy for you.
Sure you didn’t.
I hope no more benchmarks offend you in the future.
Bye now.
You got offended. And several others it seems. By a joke, which you then immediately proved to be an accurate description of Linux users.
This is why more people don’t make the switch.
windows is overbloated garbage
News flash, Windows is garbage.
I wonder if they did these tests using ray tracing or not. On my AMD 7900xt in Cyberpunk, ray tracing under linux is practically unusable levels of performance compared to windows .
Safe bet, they didn’t. Seeing they’re talking about the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.
radv is gradually catching up with amdvlk in terms of rtrt perf. could be worth using amdvlk for raytacing for now, though
the linux wars!! lets see who wins. also, its a friendly war, microsoft loves and will support linux
Microsoft has a how to for Installing Linux on the desktop.
They… accepted that they’re not killing Linux, yet. Back in the 2000s, before Azure, they felt quite threated by Linux and ‘Microsoft Linux’ was a joke. The then-CEO Steve Ballmer called Linux a ‘cancer’.
I dual boot arch and windows 11 at home. In World of Warcraft arch is behind, and I haven’t figured out what the problem is. Something just feels off with it. With any luck they’ll continue to improve compatibility. (likely Nvidia driver diff)
I’m not deep on how the core of an OS works, but to my understanding, the kernel of linux should be more robust and reliable, shouldn’t it always be performing better than windows on the same hardware?
Where could I read information on the things that hinder performance on linux, does anybody have any educational resources?
On Linux, you run windows programs through wine, which is an additional layer that can theoretically slow down the program.
Also, windows supports certain constructs like io completion ports or WaitForMultipleObjects that historically haven’t been emulated efficiently on Linux since it lacked comparable primitives, although those specific ones have been greatly improved in recent years with io_uring and FUTEX_WAIT_MULTIPLE.
There have been similar issues with direct3D since wine used to have to emulate it in OpenGL, but with vkd3d, wine has more opportunities to efficiently implement the d3d apis.
Basically wine being slower was the norm until quite recently.
windows 11 able to play games that linux distros cant*
Did NixOS join the party against Windows in performance tests?
