Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Did they test against windows using DXVK? Because I know when Elden Ring launched that was the only way to get stable frames on Windows

For whatever reason, Windows 11 is worse at Cyberpunk 2077 than Arch for me. Constant stuttering. It might be that Arch has much less going on than Windows, but it's enough for me to use Linux as my main gaming OS now.

Cool what about games with anti-cheat

I've been playing games that use EasyAntiCheat (Hunt Showdown and Chivalry 2) and they seem to work fine.

Even if that headline were objectively true, it wouldn't really mean much for a specialized OS with one purpose to excel when measured against an OS made to do almost anything and everything.
