A video for any doubters that Linux gaming is better than Windows in which it DESTROYS Windows by 25% in AC Odyssey. To put it in perspective, 25% improvement is like getting a new GPU. You can save $600 and instead use something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for free.

DISCLAIMER: I don't really care to make Linux look better but I did a video some days ago and EVERYONE (on Reddit) told me Linux gaming CANNOT be faster or smoother. This is the proof it's both and more videos will be coming.

The 545 Beta drivers apparently support a ton of new features on Linux like VRR. Frame Gen is the only thing not supported by Proton yet I think.

Tbh though, if you're on Nvidia I would stay on Windows. It's definitey doable to use Linux and get equal performance. Until Nvidia is ready for Wayland though I wouldn't switch.

Good news is NVK is a new Open Source Nvidia Vulkan driver so in like a year or two things should be as good as on AMD. The driver already loads most games with DXVK 1.5.1 but runs them at like 1 FPS if they have anything like Valheim Graphics and above. Reclocking should be coming soon though so the situation will improve. After that it's just working to get all features in and optimize.

To be honest, given the virtually undiagnosable driver crashes that plague some people I wouldn't recommend Windows users to go with Nvidia, either.

But it's good to know that a new OSS driver is being worked on.
