Comment on Windows 11 scores dead last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros

Cool that average FPS is better but:
The impressive FPS deltas aside, it should be mentioned that, with the exception of Arch Linux, average frame times (measured as 1% lows, in this case) on Linux were generally behind what Windows managed by up to 20%
I feel like worse 1% lows makes this title misleading. Hopefully with time this gap will close.

1 % lows are likely a driver thing (Nvidia calls it “Game Ready Drivers”), with Arch you’ll get new drivers (or kernel versions) much earlier, similar to Windows.

... Then why did they get the results that they did in the article?

The article specifies arch as an exception to that
