Is 60W a lot? I think a system with a few mechanical hard drives and fans will be at least half of that regardless of the processor used. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think I've run into this bug a couple of times. For some reason, the grid can become unaligned and I'd have to restart the launcher from the advanced options to fix it. I wish development was faster but that's how open source goes sometimes.

I've been using neo launcher since nova was sold. What kind of bugs have you encountered?

I'm glad OP's linux gaming experience is so much better than it is on windows. I don't say this to cast aspersions but if the results were reliable and repeatable, people like christitus, gardiner and many others would make daily videos on the topic just to get all the views(dollars) it would surely generate. It would cause a seismic shift in the PC gaming space.

It's doesn't have anywhere near the same feature set or polish but I think neolauncher probably comes the closest to replacing nova as far as open source solutions go.

Agreed. We're already there with movies and it's only a matter of time until the games industry follows the same path. The future is enshittified everything.

Obligatory I play exclusively on linux.

In the absence of a gamersnexus video or phoronix article, I'm going to take this with a large grain of salt. Especially when a video like this one is showing much higher performance in windows. The different cpu shouldn't account for much of a difference when playing at higher resolutions and the benchmarks shows the game being gpu limited.

I think the reason that's unlikely is that they'll have to finish in the bottom 2 to maintain control of the top 6 protected draft pick that was sent to the spurs. They'd have to tank from very early in the season and the team is too good to be that bad. The contract situations of OG, Trent and Pascal will keep them motivated to win. Playing team first ball is another question after seeing the bag Fred got.

There are too many variables that go into battery usage to get any meaningful insight. Different apps, cpus, screen brightness/refresh rates, active radios, etc... It's an endless list. Best you can do is compare with someone you know with the same model who has similar usage patterns. Good luck.
