Damn you really cut out the entire point of the fucking article right after that line. Wild.
"but it's an important milestone for Linux to be consistently ahead of Windows — especially in games designed to run on Windows."
is the point of article not to stroke the ego of the Linux absolutists that have some weird chip on their shoulders when it comes to video games?
I literally wrote the fucking point in the message you responded to.
For gamers, Linux has become the better OS.
No it hasn't, some games run better on the hardware tested when running Linux, some games don't work at all on Linux whereas all games run on Windows.
Come back when they test multiple machines running various hardware and when they compare the experience setting up said machines to actually run the games.
You're exactly the person this article was written for, someone who wants their opinion reinforced because they won't take the time to analyze the data presented.
Ah, fuck me, it's a Windows shill.
"All games run on Windows" well that's bullshit. I already know for a fact if I want to boot up an old game I'll need three different compatibility modes and a fucking guide or the entire OS will bluescreen. Steam has native support for Linux and they'd need to given their Steamdeck runs on it. Most if not all games on Steam run on it which was my major hangup for the last few years.
I run Windows 10. I know Windows 11 is dogshit and I don't need this article to reinforce that knowledge. You seem to be confused on what an opinion is because 6% is 6%. You can whine about the data and it not being robust but the fact Linux is comparable within even a margin of error? Yeah get fucked, I have no interest in sticking with an OS that tried to put fucking advertisements in the file explorer and is unapologetically getting worse.
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.
Exactly my point. I've been seriously fenceriding between Win 10 and Linux and the only thing stopping me is not having a second drive for dual boot and a distro that will let me game and do everything I'm doing right now, just better. Something like this does more than just perk up my ears.
