Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I’ve seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

    I hate to keep being in these threads saying the same thing, but new people need to know:

    THERE IS NO APPRECIABLE PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANY LINUX DISTRO FOR GAMING

    Doesn’t matter if it calls itself a “gaming” distro, or it wins by 10% in some benchmarks here and there. Any distro can be tuned like any other distro in every single way. No distro has any proprietary bits that make it better than another, and even if they did, you’d see devblogs or GitHub scripts you can one-shot to tune whatever you’re running to perform similarly.

    Save yourself from falling for the hype, and save yourself the time of sitting through videos like this.

      You can tune any distro to any degree you want and replace everything including a custom built kernel to get performance. But you know not everyone can/wants to do that, I have a toddler so I’m not going to take a whatever Debian and install a new scheduler and whatever just cause.

      You might forget that Linux desktop is growing super fast and fiddling with stuff under the hood is not that common and noobs and people with experience end up fucking things up constantly. Having something that’s performant, optimised for your use case, whatever optimisations baked in won’t break with updates and you can just install it and forget is a really big deal. This is just not something that was available.

      I think you should stop the hate and allow people to be happy with the distro they like for whatever reason.
