A video for any doubters that Linux gaming is better than Windows in which it DESTROYS Windows by 25% in AC Odyssey. To put it in perspective, 25% improvement is like getting a new GPU. You can save $600 and instead use something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for free.
DISCLAIMER: I don't really care to make Linux look better but I did a video some days ago and EVERYONE (on Reddit) told me Linux gaming CANNOT be faster or smoother. This is the proof it's both and more videos will be coming.
You're viewing a single thread.
Haven’t watched the video yet but I’d like to add from my very limited experience. I recently switched to Kubuntu (still have my windows boot) and the one game I play (Red Dead Redemption 2) seems to be running worse. I haven’t done much testing at all so it could be something I can adjust and get running better.
Having said that, general day-to-day performance is miles ahead of my Windows install.
If I could get RDR2 to run better on Linux and DaVinci Resolve to run I’d have no need to keep my Windows install.
Have you tried something like Nobara? I'm pretty sure DaVinci Resolve works on Fedora (which Nobara is based on) and you will get the latest optimizations as well. I am on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed just cause best performance on my system.
Nobara comes with DaVinci Resolve out of the box (or in the post install configuration screen at least).
That said I saw problems on Nobara I don’t have in arch that made me almost switch back to windows.
Decided to try arch before I switch back to windows, long story short have been on linux for two months without any plans of going back, the idea of windows now makes me wince.
I might try running arch as well. I’ll test it out before I move to a bare metal install.
Archinstall is perfectly fine, or EndeavourOS, they will make installing easy, i only use pacman and AUR for packages, anything not there Ive managed to build myself. This is the main reason I love arch, pacman + AUR are amazing.
You will probably want an AUR helper like yay or paru (doesn’t really matter which one for you, i prefer yay for sounding fun).
And of course RTFM - archwiki is amazing.
I haven’t tried that yet. I tried running it as a container via distrobox.
Huh, doesn't DaVinci have a native Linux port? Is it that bad?
Technically they do but it isn’t supported on all distros. They officially support centOS 8, RHEL and one other that I’m forgetting.
