Recent testing revealed that Arch Linux, Pop!_OS, and even Nobara Linux, which is maintained by a single developer, all outstripped Windows for the performance crown on Windows-native games. The testing was run at the high-end of quality settings, and Valve's Proton was used to run Windows games on Linux.

    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.
