    I don’t know how to tell you, but these benchmarks doesn’t say anything if there’s not any technical discussion. Sometimes yes games run better on linux, and the reasons are not that linux is faster. It has to do with mainly two reasons, dx10 or dx11 might cause bottleneck that is resolved by the translation layer in vk3d, for games that have that issue. Second all the features of dx is not supported, you might think that the game looks ok in linux while it looks and feels different on windows. You might have shadows or lightning that is rendered differently, you put your graphics settings on ultra and on windows that might include hdr and linux it doesn’t exist. So of course the games run faster if it doesn’t have to do the same work. The game literally runs through a translation layer, it’s not fucking magic.

    You think a youtube video or some fucking idiot at Forbes is going to convince me.

    This is a benchmark that you can trust. https://www.phoronix.com/review/nvidia2022-windows11-linux

    I’m not a windows user, I would be considered more of a power user, because I use it professionally and at home, both handling servers and software development. Don’t get me wrong I hate windows user interface more then anything. But I’m not in denial, windows kernel is a very good kernel for gaming, it has a lot of features that doesn’t exist yet. Where do you think the kernel devs for linux take their inspiration from, my god they are adding stuff like windows NT thread primitives to the linux kernel.

    First of all, you’re just making up stuff, you have no idea what the code base of the Microsoft kernel looks like. Second, who do you think develops the linux kernel, a lot of them are Microsoft engineers, most linux kernel devs nowadays are hired by big tech companies, because they all have a stake in linux, it’s one of the main reasons why linux is evolving so rapidly.

    Third looking from the outside the Microsoft kernel is pretty amazing for what it does, backwards compatible, you can still run windows 98 software on windows 11, it’s fast and efficient, you have yet to prove that it’s slower than linux.

    Bro no large or medium sized government entities are using anything else, even if they do, it’s for a little while and then they go back. You know why? Microsoft office, exchange, outlook, there is no other good alternative, good lucking telling their employees that they are going to learn libre office and linux. They can’t even handle windows properly.

    Most if them have already spent years building their infrastructure around windows and Microsoft office suite, and they are not changing anytime soon.

    I’m only saying this because I’ve seen this posted on several boards , and there’s to much negative attitude towards the blogger.

    I don’t understand people being defensive, it’s not like the author hates rust, as a matter of fact he loves rust and chose to write a game in it for 3 years. He’s just sharing his experience with the language, and some one might find it useful, even the language devs might appreciate feedback from the community.

    How is the language going to improve, if all we do I show hostility towards those who critiques some parts of the language, it’s going to be C++ all over again, if people stop doing that because being afraid of getting community backlash. The elitist attitude isn’t helpful and has never been.
