Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite

Windows is essentially free too btw. 99% of people don’t need to buy a license, an unactivated copy will do just fine.
Superior? I guess that’s debatable, definitely not an objective fact.
What most people will overlook just to go “yeah suck that windows!” is the GPU market share - Nvidia has 95%! That means that Linux will be significantly worse than Windows for 95% of people.

Is the significance in the room with us? All I’m seeing is marginal difference at this point.

Did you not look at the results when the user has a Nvidia GPU? Or when ray tracing is enabled? if you can even enable it on the Linux version, of course. Or when res goes above 1080p up to 4K?

Pulling numbers out of thin air.
Also, I’m not seeing the “massive” here. But I’m not someone who sweats about framerates as long as they’re stable and above 60fps. I have always been a mid-spec player.
Those Nvidia numbers aren’t great, but in general, fuck Nvidia. They are getting better about their drivers, and the performance on Linux will continue to get better.
But me, I’m happy gaming on Linux, and so are lots of folks.

No, 95% is Nvidia market share.
20%+ difference is massive. 10% is massive to many pc players.
Just a drop in the ocean compared to the number of people who are happy gaming on windows, and these differences are making sure that Linux isn’t gaining any significant ground. Nvidia may as well be the only player in the GPU market, and with how poorly their gpus work on Linux, it’s a huge problem for Linux.
