I feel as if technology has stagnated, all that are left are grifts or just make everything terrible, like AI. I was thinking Zoom calls maybe? The tech has definitely improved since Skype.

        just from experience, some games will perform a bit worse but it’s usually comparable on the same hardware, the overheads are not very great for modern hardware to handle. and some perform even better!

        So currently AMD open drivers are better than Nvidia closed drivers as far as pure gaming goes. I want to mention that because it’s a lot of back and forth about that stuff in the Linux gaming communities. But with that said, I use Nvidia and the only issue I have is that I need to turn off v-sync for most games because I get tearing, which is backwards, right?

        Anywho, pretty much anything Unity Engine is gonna feel like native. Most Unreal games will too. It’s been so long since I’ve had a dual boot system to compare I don’t think I can reliably comment on performance, tbh. I run an RTX 3080 and normally get 60+ fps on max settings for pretty much all games. I had pretty major framerate drops on Echo Point Nova once or twice but there was a lot going on onscreen. I will say that it seems like a lot of stuff on Linux is locked at 60 fps though. But overall, performance has been great over the last few years for me at least lol.

        Some games from video comparisons I’ve seen will have a slight performance drop but some actually seem to run better.

        I do wanna mention that a lot of games that use anti-cheat won’t run because the devs don’t seem to want to deal with supporting Linux, and some go as far as saying Linux users cheat, which is just silly.
