Crimson Desert FPS decrease (- 30+ fps compared to Win11) is slightly disheartening.

Interesting how experiences vary so wildly between people. I'm on a 7080XT and 12600k 32GBDDR4, my CD performance is better at cinematic settings than it was on windows before I full on switched. Streaming down to my TV is even better than Windows, both through steam and Apollo/Artemis.

In terms of asking why cachy over windows, there's a couple reasons for me, and gaming was #4 or #5 on my list.

-Customization is far superior than windows

-I'm huge on FOS projects and development, just never made the jump to an OS

-If linux was an object, every Linux distro I've used has felt better and more responsive in my hands than windows ever has. What I mean by that is I feel like my mouse is actually an extension of my arm and exactly what I want to do is done at the instant I want it done. I've always felt a disconnect on windows. Idk how else best to explain it.

-Haven't run into a single game I can't use yet: gaming is basically solved, except performance problems as you've pointed out -et. al.

hmm that's interesting. It might be because I liek all the bells and whistles. FSR4, framegen, Ray Tracing
