All three Linux distros managed to beat Windows 11 while using Vavle's Proton compatibility layer.

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.

    Exactly. It doesn’t “just work” but if you can get it going it’s great.

    All that work is what makes it not simple though.

      Pretty much. If you want the simplest, “just works” Linux setup, your best bet right now is buying a Steam Deck.
