Linus Torvalds admits 'pure incompetence' for missing the new Linux 6.14 kernel deadline but all is forgiven as the update is great news for non-Windows gaming (www.pcgamer.com)

And it's all down to an improved NTsync driver.

24-678% uplift sounds incredible for CPU-bound games.

That's compared to default wine which doesn't have f-sync. Compared to proton there probably won't be much of a difference.

Wondered if you typo'd the 678 until I read the article - damn! That's a heck of a range!

If I'm not mistaken that uplift was in DiRT 3 running on pure Wine. If you run this game with Proton, which uses Fsync instead, you'll have high FPS as well, without the 6.14 kernel.
