Did anybody think that they did?

I always assumed they were just easier to set up

Some of them advertised specific performance improvements.

I'm not going to rag on them though. Some of them did have performance improvements and basically created the tools and optimized defaults that propagated to standard distros, allowing the gap to close.

This is the great thing about open source. It benefits everyone. Any good idea that does not have significant drawbacks should get broad adoption. And that's generally how it plays out.

Reputations live on for many years (decades, even) after they are justified.

Garuda advertises a different scheduler so I would think that would make difference. It's also one of the things people recommend to improve gaming performance on Linux. Unfortunately as others have pointed out without 1% lows, there is nothing of value in this video. Saying that with respect to Nick. He should step up his game in this area. Average fps just doesn't tell anything, especially on Linux which is even less consistent than Windows

@somethingsomethingidk @JRepin

Hmmm yes, or at least not worse than a general purpose distro.

I can't find the post now but a user saw that in his computer, Garuda, which is advertised as a Gaming distro, performed worse than OpenSuse Tumbleweed and other distros that I don't remember.

The problem is that there isn't a single benchmark that is complete enough to conclude anything meaningful.

yeah I always looked at it as more of an out of the box thing being the idea. I mean really for all distros to some degree. To some degree people, I recognize there are other things but I can feel the heat of the torches from the pitchfork wielders already even before I post this.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
