Nobara OS, Arch Linux and Pop!_OS beat Windows 11 by a slim margin in fps (delta 8) in Windows native games - Cyberpunk 2077, Forspoken, Starfield and The Talos Principle II. Windows 11 wins in Rachet & Clank.

ComputerBase's testing was done on an all-AMD test rig, featuring a Ryzen 7 5800X (non-3D) and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.

Update: Windows 11 wins in one game.

I've been using arch and manjaro for the past 3 years with awesomewm and gnome (can't get awesomewm to behave with second monitor while gaming so I switch to gnome when using the second monitor, using laptop) and this has pretty much been my experience. Windows is bloated and it never"just works".

Windows never works so much that you have to switch between distros to do different stuff, ahahaha! Oh my, the delusion...

Windows almost always just works.

This seems crazy to say when talking about Linux. Especially when saying you have to switch to use dual monitors.

Linux allows you to change anything. Like using a WM that's specifically made for enthusiasts, and developed by random people in their spare time.

Windows doesn't allow you to move the taskbar.

Who'd guess some Linux setups are not going to be plug and play...

Windows allows you to do anything. If you don't know how - that's the problem of your skills.
