Interesting video showing almost no difference in performance between gaming distros and Windows 11 LTSC. What is your opinion on this?

Hopefully once Linux gets a big enough market share, the devs that don't have Linux compatibility for their anti-cheat start adding it. That'll really expedite its growth in the personal computer market. I think a lot of people would at least attempt to switch to Linux if you told them it was free and would run Call of Duty better.

Linux really needs decent compatibility with Adobe products, evil as they are. Linux is catering to gamers now, the coders are already there, and it totally works for the people that just need a web browser, word processor, e-mail, and some communication programs. If it can do what artists need it to, using the industry standard programs, to what other group of PC users is there to appeal?
