          Disregard posts talking about telemetry since 90% of those playing games on Linux use Steam. Some even use distros with built in telemetry, which at this point, just use Windows if that was your only argument.

              I run Arch anon. But the telemetry point has never been the most sound there was the moment you play games. Obviously less telemetry is better than Windows making calls every attosecond but don't pretend we're Stallman here.

                Every time. Steam checking for updates when it runs, or an online game accessing your friends list is not remotely similar to Windows' frickery.

                Not literally Arch. SteamOS is Arch based but it's a lot more casual friendly with a bunch of Windows-esque safety nets in place to ensure the user doesn't nuke their Deck

                It's not like proper arch is always one typo away from nuking your system either. The two most anti-normalgays archisms are that you have to use the terminal for the package manager, and the initial installation (yes even using archinstall will scare some people)

                SteamOS is read only mode so basically you can only install flatpak stuff without the OS removing it on updates. Its good for the handheld because no one would want to break their system and start figuring out how to make a handheld work

                how rough of a transition would it be to go from a Steam Deck to an actual Linux desktop with arch+KDE?
                I've used the terminal and disabled the read only OS a few times to install things but I'm still kind of spooked by the terminal and don't really understand how to use it properly beyond copy pasting in commands
                can you still install flatpaks and use the discover GUI on desktop arch?

        A phone is just small computer, you don't need to use the screen it comes with.

        well that makes more sense but from my experience memory management on phones isn't very good. like I can have one app open, switch to another app for 10 seconds, and when I return to the previous app it has to reload. whereas on desktop you can have a bunch of windows open for weeks on end even with 8 gigs of ram. or does the desktop mode on mobile fix that (the mode that makes android look like windows)

    Because W10 IoT LTSC is still usable for a while. I used W7 all the way up until regular W10 LTSC 3 years ago, and this will be my last Windows. I've already gotten used to Linux through my Deck and a debian server I'm running. I've also already had the misfortune of dealing with W11 because of my job, and I can say with utmost certainty that even an LTSC release of W11 is going to be shit enough to make a Freetard forever.

        Yeah i've tested extensively. I got roughly 30 less frames in borderlands 3, roughly 50 less frames in deep rock galactic and elden ring ran about 25 frames less on linux.

        For AMD I bet linux probably does perform better but in my experience with nvidia, linux does 'just work' but it's not as well as it is on Windows.

          It doesn't really matter because AMD price their cards according to their expected performance and competitiveness on Windows. Any uplift on Linux is a benefit for AMD customers, even if the root cause is shitty drivers on Windows.

            I've been using linux since 98. I had the compositor disabled otherwise every game is a stuttery mess. Latest drivers and kernel patches for fsync/esync.

    Are there any videos of the performance comparisons between Windows and Linux? I remember last year I asked this question and an anon got defensive saying "you won't admit it's better even if I did link a video" and then eventually him or someone linked a RDR2 video and the frame rate was within like 5 FPS, well within a margin of normal fluctuation, and sometimes the Windows one was better. So basically it ran exactly the same. It's like a USA wins 1-1 situation.
    I feel like the goal post gets moved every time this happens. First, it's Linux runs it better. Then it turns into, well it runs it just as good so why not use it? Well why don't I just keep using the same Windows key I've been using for 15 years then?

      It's mostly that Linux is a better experience on the rest but it's down to preference.
      Disregard anyone that brings up the telemetry because we all know they installed Steam, discord, chrome or whatever shit on their Linux Distro, if they didn't outright install one with built in telemetry like Ubuntu or Deepin.

      A lot are disengenious, like running a highly customized kernel for a specific game with as minimal background processes as possible while keeping a bloated windows installation. You'll also notice they'll all be AMD comparisons.

      Some anon benchmarked Borderlands 3 on /lgg/ in /vg/ on Windows and Linux and posted his results and Linux was worse. While some other anon posted a video comparing cyberpunk 2077 windows vs linux and linux was faster but it wasn an amd card.

        There's a kernel of truth to that, since for many games there are bugs that certain configurations can have that may have a 40% fps difference. People like to show what is possible, but often isn't the out-of-the-box experience. Valve has made this a lot easier with the introduction of proton though

    Did you know there's dxvk for windows too? You'd only gain performance switching to linux if there was ram bottleneck (which is surprisingly often these days because modern games are very sensitive to latency, throughput and amount in that order of priority) and elimination of it would outweight translation overhead and even then performance gain wouldn't be that noticable.

      A compatibility layer is not an emulator, it's just a system that deals with arbitrary hardcoded requirements of ancient software that was never futureproof designed. Windows itself uses the same kind of compatibility layer. So basically you're saying that playing anything on Windows released before 2016 is using an emulator.

      then just use another one wow. There are GUIs that work on Linux and are probably better because shit that does as simple shit like that that is just one command in ffmpeg shouldnt be that hard to port

        He's talking about Webm For Lazys and it's actually a great program

        Not only will it precisely calculate finished video size (for Ganker filesize limit purposes) but it's just very lightweight and fast as a video editor, I use it for clipping stuff all the time

            Depending on your usage it's an objective downgrade going from that to the command line

        fine combed through the arch wiki and a lot of youtube guides, did everything as per instruction and it just wouldn't work
        the only thing left was checking error logs (which i didn't know how to do), so i gave up on it and went with mint

    Everyone who uses Linux at some point end up going back to Windows because Linux sucks dick. Even the biggest Linux shills that spend every waking hour making videos or writing articles about how Linux is so good still end up going back to Windows. That's how bad Linux is that not even the shills can use it for long period of times before going back to Windows.

    Windows users don't seethe about linux users, they just use their OS
    linux users seethe about windows users every day, they don't use their OS
    The choice is simple.

        Yes and? It also means the argument of

        means literally nothing. So what's the upside of linux elsewhere... let me think...
        They make for great servers... but that's about it.

    Cause linux is for people who either live inside their puters or never touch them unless they are paid relatively good money. Entry fee of learning basic computer programming and reading half o archwiki before understanding how stuff fits together is too high for everyone else.

    I just have never had a single reason to switch to linux, also I often use software that isn't on it. It's cool if you have to give new life to a potato though, now that I think about it I might try it on an old laptop that I don't even use anymore

          so yeah, windows is your office OS that provides support for doing work with propietary programs that have code bases filled with shit so they cannot be ported to anywhere, but not your gaming OS
          I am not a nerd who uses computers if I am not having fun so I use Linux

            the thing is that I also need to use proprietary stuff on my pc too sometimes, I could double partition but I'm too lazy. Otherwise yeah, with the recent progress in gaming linux has become more and more feasible and honestly tinkering with it and customizing it sounds fun compared to dealing with the soulless modern windows

    So there's this game I wanted to play on steamdeck. It doesn't work.
    And I was told to look for it online, but since it's a niche game, I can't find anything about it.
    Then I was told to create a git hub ticket, and I did. But I waited for half a year and still no reply on it at all.
    Then I was told to try all kind of weird workaround, but still couldn't get it to work.
    By chance, it finally work on Steam Deck on some newest proton GE. But the game crash quite easily and I have to constantly restart the game

    That's when I know Linux is so shitty for gaming, it's not worth it at all.

    Windows is basically the ultimate cuckolding experience. You get to sit and watch with your wiener in your hand while microsoft fricks your computer right in front of you, cums inside of it, and turns it into a node in its botnet.
