    I found these comparisons not useful. Nobody play on Linux for searching for performance, but to avoid switch os only for playing.

      This might be helpful to someone that hasn’t done a dual boot gaming benchmark to know that they can now stop dual booting and just run Linux. It has been years of conditioning for some being told that for best performance you had to play in Windows.

      It’s rather important to understand the performance characteristics for people to know what to expect if they want to switch to Linux.

      If games ran at half the FPS on Linux as they would have on Windows, then pretty much no one would be gaming on linux.

      If you got 90% performance on Linux, only Linux enthusiasts would take the performance hit.

      At 100% performance the choice is completely free, people that got fed up with windows could just switch.

      When Linux outperforms Windows, this puts us in very interesting territory, as this might even entice a bunch of people to give Linux a try to see whether the switch is worth the performance. I’m personally quite interested in seeing whether this could be the tipping point for Linux on desktop and laptop to really start taking off.

      I’m no fps snob, but that’s blatantly untrue
