This is a little PSA to Linux users and Linux gamers, with news reports out there about AMD shifting focus away from certain GPUs.

In virtually every instance of gaming I’ve tried, Nvidia is measurably slower on Linux than Windows

My experience has been the exact opposite. FPS gains in virtually all games I tested, including demandibg ones like Cyberpunk.

This was a few patches ago, but I tried to get modded 2077 faster, and could not, at least not on my setup. And I really tried because I need every drop of FPS on my aging 3090.

…That, and I had some HDR problems anyway.

For reference, I’m on W11, but neutered severely. No defender, no background tasks, services or anything, and a bunch of power plan tweaks. On the linux side I’m running CachyOS. Tested with GoG Cyberpunk, can’t remember what patch, but it was on a shared NTFS partition, and CachyOS Proton on the linux side.
