For all the doubters that Linux gaming is smoother and faster. (video.hardlimit.com)

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.

Not really. Games almost always have some bottleneck and maybe on proton a specific system call is faster. A translation layer doesn't have much of an performance impact if the individual translations are as fast as native.

The great performance speaks more to the quality of wine, dxvk, vkd3d and other tools developed by very skilled individuals.
