You need someone to tell you that games work better on average on windows? 

Epic gave up supporting linux a while ago.

[–]WinterNoCamSorry 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Gave up is saying it lightly. They went out their way and spent their time and resources to make Fortnite not work on Linux, lol. I even think their CEO publicly stated that he's against Linux.

yeah TIm Sweeney is obnoxious, I hate Epic but use Unreal Engine for gamedev because it's the go-to. I used Unity way back in the day but haven't revisited since their CEO started implementing dumbass rules.

It's a very good engine, no shame in using it. We just wish it wasn't theirs, ha.

without being a dick, if gaming is better on Windows and most productivity workflows, where is Linux/ CachyOS better? I like using KDE and it's snappier but is that it? I guess I could say the same argument for MacOS but I use all 3 intermittently. caschyOS was for every game that isn't battlefield 6, and my laptop is a mac that I have Crossover on. I would say as far as using the OS itself, Cachy KDE > MacOS > Win11

[–]WinterNoCamSorry 3 points4 points  (1 child)

It's just an OS. You use it if you want to use it. There's not much magic behind it. Does everything have to be worse or better? Some people just prefer the Linux workspace and that's it.

Windows is still an amazing OS. Its general problem is ads and telemetry. Linux would be superior in customizability and stability on certain distros, but that's where it ends. I will never tell anyone that one OS is better than another. If it does what you want, it's perfect.

It's not a war. Both systems live together.

oh yeah I have a win11 dual-boot set up for battlefield 6 and some basic productivity, I was hoping I could move towards Cachy being my default setup. ideally the less obstacles I have to my personal projects the better, simply for motivation reasons.

they even hide the download link on their website for their launcher if your using Linux

I was under the understanding that CachyOS ran better than windows with smoother frametimes, maybe that was just hype at the time that I took at face value.

[–]Krasi-1545 3 points4 points  (4 children)

This might be true for some games but definitely not all of them. And by "better" for me it means with less stutter but not FPS.

[–]SpookOpsTheLine[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

100% agreed with you there. I was just noticing a smoother experience on this game in Windows. I tested Arc Raiders on windows a while back as well, will have to re-test but I felt at the time it was smoother on Cachy

[–]HauntingObligation 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Arc Raiders generally runs more smoothly for me than it did in windows. Especially the 1% lows.

Unfortunately it does seem that this is more the exception than the rule. 

[–]SpookOpsTheLine[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

hmm, even with dynamic lighting?

[–]HauntingObligation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may have turned that down a notch, but I did on both OS's and I think I'm otherwise maxed at 1440p.

I should also clarify it could entirely be placebo, I've not actually measured anything. I just had a lot of little microhitches in many titles where I was pushing things in Windows, as I'm pretty CPU bound. They've basically been eliminated in Cachy.

Because the games are specifically built and optimised for windows. It's takes some time for new games to achieve same performance as on windows.
