A video for any doubters that Linux gaming is better than Windows in which it DESTROYS Windows by 25% in AC Odyssey. To put it in perspective, 25% improvement is like getting a new GPU. You can save $600 and instead use something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for free.

DISCLAIMER: I don’t really care to make Linux look better but I did a video some days ago and EVERYONE (on Reddit) told me Linux gaming CANNOT be faster or smoother. This is the proof it’s both and more videos will be coming.

    This proves that AC Oddysey runs faster on Linux than on Windows with your specific hardware. What this doesn’t mean is that “Linux gaming is faster and smoother than Windows gaming”.

    Counter examples are Overwatch, CS:2, GTA V and many more.

    Nobody reasonable doubts that Linux can perform as good or better than Windows, but claiming that this is true for all games is simply misinformation.

    Wrong general claims like these lead to posts asking why their specific games run worse on Linux since they switched because they want more fps.

    Don’t get me started on older GPU’s like 1000 series Nvidia that have problems with any vkd3d games so the performance is abysmal.

    Why is it not enough that almost all games work on Linux with ±15% performance difference?

    Dude, honestly stop making such “crazy” things.

    Prople will debunk you then hit you to the ground. Just say the truth of the gimmiky things you do because a 25% performance boost is unreal.

    A 5% to a maximum 10% is more believable but your stuff is a quarter of a video card processing power and this should ring you a bell of alarm because the doodoo you are eating there is pure BS.

    I’m sorry, but if you see a 25% difference in a benchmark, that means your methodology is somehow flawed. A few percentage in either direction would be believable, but this difference would be so comical if true, that extra wariness is needed.

    There’s a few thing that look a bit off to me, but most importantly it seems like your OBS settings are wildly different between systems. It’s a bit hard to make out, but it seems like you’re doing CPU-based encoding on Linux and GPU-based encoding on Windows.
