Comment on RIP Windows: Linux GPU Gaming Benchmarks on Bazzite
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 3 weeks agoDid you not look at the results when the user has a Nvidia GPU? Or when ray tracing is enabled? if you can even enable it on the Linux version, of course. Or when res goes above 1080p up to 4K?

Pulling numbers out of thin air.
Also, I’m not seeing the “massive” here. But I’m not someone who sweats about framerates as long as they’re stable and above 60fps. I have always been a mid-spec player.
Those Nvidia numbers aren’t great, but in general, fuck Nvidia. They are getting better about their drivers, and the performance on Linux will continue to get better.
But me, I’m happy gaming on Linux, and so are lots of folks.

No, 95% is Nvidia market share.
20%+ difference is massive. 10% is massive to many pc players.
Just a drop in the ocean compared to the number of people who are happy gaming on windows, and these differences are making sure that Linux isn’t gaining any significant ground. Nvidia may as well be the only player in the GPU market, and with how poorly their gpus work on Linux, it’s a huge problem for Linux.

Yeah, you did pull it out of thin air.

Nvidia are currently selling 95% of the consumer gpus that are sold, and have been for a long time.
Steam hardware surveys also aren’t good for getting exact numbers either. They’re good for trends and big picture stuff, like “Nvidia gpus are the overwhelming favourite among steam users”, but 80% in there could be 60% or 90% in the full world - and we know from sales numbers it’s not the former.
