The numbers are wild. In developer benchmarks, Dirt 3 went from 110.6 FPS to 860.7 FPS, which is an impressive 678% improvement. Resident Evil 2 jumped from 26 FPS to 77 FPS. Call of Juarez went from 99.8 FPS to 224.1 FPS. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands saw gains from 130 FPS to 360 FPS.

Might have to make another effort to switch to Linux. Kind of a side question about Linux, is there a good android emulator? On windows I've been using Google play games which has official support for my game of choice but if an emulator will work I don't know what else I use that's locked to windows.

Waydroid is my go to. It runs Android 13 and performance is near native since it uses your linux drivers where it can
