I've been gaming on a fresh linux install for a couple weeks now and have anecdotally noticed this but hadn't really put any effort into being sure, so it's nice to see data. I also notice other weird shit like Discord loads faster, though that's minor, but the big difference is that it connects in 3-5 seconds once it loads instead of 15-30 on windows. No idea what would even affect that, it's the same internet connection (gigabit fiber.)

Sometimes the wifi drivers work better in Linux than Windows. They get a lot of eyes as Linux is more a server distro than Windows is, so internet performance is a much higher priority. Also much less tracking which helps.

I don't even have wifi on the PC, I'm wired all the way to the fiber modem.
