    From a benchmark perspective this has shown to be false in some or many areas.

    A great lot of good those benchmarks are going to to when your game doesn’t run AT ALL. This is such a non-argument it’s not even funny at this point.

    It’s great to be an open source advocate, but this argument crosses the line into zealotry. It has very little basis in the reality of things.

    Do I want Microsoft to die a quick and painful death? Absolutely. Is Linux the superior choice in all situations – absolutely not.

      I have yet to play a game in the past few years that doesn’t run perfectly thanks to Proton and the work Glorious Eggroll is doing. The only games that won’t play are the ones requiring kernel level anti cheat (which is a ridiculous requirement in the first place).

      Something tells me you haven’t tried to play games on Linux in the past few years. So I can understand your point of view given that probable inexperience. However, I have been a user of all three OSes for decades and am not a zealot, and the fact that you think I am is enough for me to not waste any more time here.

      Enjoy. I know I will, without Windows in my life now.

        80% on Tier 3 or lower for Proton Click Play. That’s not a small number. That means a majority of games, have bugs, crashing issues, things that cause them to be unplayable or glitchy…

        So I repeat…

        A lot of good those benchmarks do when only 20% of the games are playable to the same degree…

        Great, you have success with it. But your anecdotal evidence does not make a solid claim to base things upon.
