The bottom line is administration, always has been, always will be. What version of drivers are you using? What security patches are you running? What background processes are taxing your system? How knowledgeable are you about any of these things? Are you writing your own code? Are you in control of who does when they issue you a patch or an upgrade? Are you even qualified to butter toast?

Pointless discussion. I can raise or drop fps on any machine running any os that's capable simply by paying attention to the above mentioned questions or not when layering an OS build. It's a not one size fits all situation. Technical prowess is paramount to getting the best performance possible in any sitution. Do you go to a restaurant and after looking at the menu proceed to tell the food server eh, just pick anything that you like and serve it to me. Well then my friends, you deserve that bowl of soup with a large, dead, black fly floating right on top and one at the bottom of the bowl that you can't see until you get to it.

Who gaf about AMD. Nvidia (90% of the market) is slower on all Linux distros by roughly 10% if not more for all dx12 games, which is most games now.

That is genuinely worrisome. There's a difference of up to 13 fps for 1% lows in many games (In CSGO it's even larger difference). More than that, running on Linux is also taking 2-3 GB less system ram and less vram while emulating native windows games. :/

Well those 3 fps more on linux is a margin of error, as long as it has same or better performance than windows, I am happy. Keep in mind though many of the games don't run natively but through an emulator so is a great achievement.

I'm really happy with my choice of giving up on windows completely, I'm never going back

You must reminded that most game companies built their games for Windows OS only.  And Linux can has such closing scores is already amazing.

Writing this on a home workstation that I recently converted from W11 to CachyOS - wish I'd done it sooner. Runs flawlessly. Considering to do the same with my work laptop now...

A recent benchmark by the YouTube channel NJ Tech compares gaming performance between Windows 11 and CachyOS. Early results suggest Linux is closing the gap, and in some cases, even pulling ahead in modern AAA titles.
