Well sure but rephrased it's just "Three Linux distros that embarrass Windows 11 in gaming performance." which to me, is equally interesting.
article title: windows DEAD LAST!
also in the same article: "... When it comes to FPS, the overall leader in testing was Nobara Linux, with Arch Linux and Pop!_OS trailing by 1–5%. Windows 11, however, was only 6% behind Nobara Linux. So, **there isn't a massive performance delta here, **"
gaming and the abundance of software and third party support and tutorials on windows is why I haven't taken the dive to linux yet. So yeah, if linux does gaming as well or better my migration is more and more likely.
I'm gonna be that Linux bro and tell you to switch 😁 I made the full switch earlier this year and I've been amazed by how good proton is. There's only been one game I couldn't get to run until I did by installing some Microsoft VC runtime. Give it a shot! You just might be pleasantly surprised as I was.
