Nobara OS, Arch Linux and Pop!_OS beat Windows 11 by a slim margin in fps (delta 8) in Windows native games - Cyberpunk 2077, Forspoken, Starfield and The Talos Principle II. Windows 11 wins in Rachet & Clank.

ComputerBase's testing was done on an all-AMD test rig, featuring a Ryzen 7 5800X (non-3D) and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.

Update: Windows 11 wins in one game.

Doesn't matter. Easy of use + compatibility trumps all.

That's true, but also a W for Linux.

It's more: whatever comes preinstalled trumps all.

Been using Nobara for the last 2 years. Haven't noticed much of a dip in performance coming from Windows, if anything.

What does "gaming focused" even mean? In what way is it focused on gaming?
