    Massively?

    Yeah there's improvements, battery and performance wise

    There's nothing massive here there is a decent bump in specifically the cyberpunk fps

    Edit: geez this single comment brought more people out of the woodwork to respond to me than anything else I have commented on lemmy

    I'm not even here arguing which one is better like come on now

    Massively is the wrong word to use it's that simple

    I think you just don't understand or have a frame of reference for performance numbers.

    Massive is the right word.

    A simple OS shift and you are looking at a more than generational improvement in performance, and a multi generational improvement in battery life: massive.

    I get that you might not be into these kinds of numbers enough to know what you are talking about about, but maybe refrain from commenting till you develop some context.

      It's insane to me that we're disagreeing about the word massive.
      Rather than simply using it as the English definition.....

      We're using the hype culture definition of massive.
      Bro get over yourself. The improvements are NOT massive, fps or battery wise.

      They are better and possibly even TONY THE TIGER GREAT. Massive is the size of your mom's ass, not these gains based on a different OS.

      Also I respect all mothers but I couldn't help but use a dumb joke to make my point.

      And last but not least.... Go make this argument about price and or Linux to anybody that needs convincing. Because it's not me man. I have a Linux rig. I also have a Mac OS and a Windows (gasp) 11 laptop because i code, make music, and play games. Sometimes I just browse the web for fun

      By the way guess which OS is least compatible with the many different softwares I use for these purposes? It's Linux.

            I can understand where you're coming from. Sometimes people do pile on over silly things. It sucks to self-censor but I think I've learned just to stay quiet on a lot of the topics people will jump on me for. The worst is when people will accuse you of holding horrible bigoted views because you make a comment about how something in a post or comment isn't exactly true. Any dissent = black and white judgement sometimes. The internet is way worse than it should be...

            I don't particularly enjoy the downvotes people get on here for dissenting opinions. I liked the old school Reddit mentality of "if it adds to the discussion".

            Any dissent = black and white judgement sometimes.

            I was trying to say the US Dems aren't the same as the Republicans. I did state I didn't like them either and listed something Biden did that's good. Someone accused me of defending genocide and a plethora of other things afterwards.

              Pirated are a pain tho, I gave up on my daily drive Linux after trying to install a Fitgirl repack on it, then I just realized installing W11 was faster.

              I still use Linux every day for work tho

                  Oh -- yeah, anything but advocating for opposing democrats at all costs is "defending genocide" to a large population of lemmy. It's pathetic.

                    From what I can tell, at least in this specific instance, aubertlone has only received downvotes for comments they made that were directly attacking or insulting those with differing opinions from themselves. I believe their initial comment before the edit did add positively to the discussion.

                    I can't speak to the second part of your comment, but I'm sorry to hear that you received that response to your opinions.

                      Amd makes the drivers for both Linux and Windows brotha.... So Microsoft wasn't able to fix something the open source community in collab with amd could?...

                      I don't know the business negotiations of all that. But if you watch the video, Phawx basically uses one single command to lower the wattage on his Windows handheld and instantly triple the expected battery life. The underlying OS clearly supports it. Seems to me like the AMD driver just isn't detecting that the game has light power needs and so isn't throttling like it should.

                        It isn't bait, more of a reminder that no matter how many indie games run on Linux, Fortnite, the most popular shooter on earth, doesn't, and it will forever be a band-aid of cope to say "stop playing shit" every time someone brings it up.

                        People are basic and dumb, they love shit.

                        No shit? Guess I'll stay with Windows.

                        Who knew people so used to shit would want to continue enjoying it?

                                  That's still an average of over 10% FPS gains overall. Similar improvement to a new GPU generation, but on the same hardware. Sounds pretty massive to me.

                                  and 20% in a couple. That's pretty massive considering we're talking about the exact same hardware.

                                      Whats this suppose to mean? That 1% just tells Linux users that the developers & publishers simply don’t care enough about their product.

                                          It isn't bait, more of a reminder that no matter how many indie games run on Linux, Fortnite, the most popular shooter on earth, doesn't, and it will forever be a band-aid of cope to say "stop playing shit" every time someone brings it up.

                                          People are basic and dumb, they love shit.

                                          No shit? Guess I'll stay with Windows.

                                          Who knew people so used to shit would want to continue enjoying it?

                                          Most AAA games run on Linux, it's mostly the anti-cheat ones that refuse to enable Linux support that don't. Sadly, there's nothing Linux devs can realistically do to fix that, it's something the devs need to do.

                                          I try to mention this caveat in most "Linux > Windows" threads. It's important to know what works and what doesn't, and why.
