I’ve always used Windows and am super comfortable with it. I have set up a dual boot with fedora but don’t use it because I have never identified a need to use it. I see a lot of windows hate, so what does Linux have that I need? What can motivate me to migrate? What is a good Linux to have for a desktop + steam?

    Which games run slower on linux (with proof please)? I bet you are not able to name 2… the adaption layer as you name it is not causing performance degression because linux by itself runs much more performant than Windows.

    Bring Vulkan into play and you will see performance gains on linux compared to windows.

      I’ve noticed significant performance degradation in World of Warcraft and League of Legends. Used Lutrix to start them. FPS in those games visually dropped to 3-5. While on Windows there was smooth 60+ frames. I’ve tried that about 3 or 4 years ago.

        Well that sounds like miss configuration. I played one of those games without problems on Linux years ago. And performance was very good.
