I know I've said it before but as a 30+ year Linux user it *still blows my mind* that Linux is now so much the superior OS for *gaming* that Microsoft is using it as an aspirational benchmark.

@adr Someone, I can't remember who, predicted years back that windows would just become a linux distro. It's wild to think about, but MS does seem like they really do not like maintaining windows anymore. We can all see that it's a chore for them.

@fichusalon @adr the timing seems right, it very well may have been him, Mr. GUN/Linux himself

@adr I mean... 20 years ago i got 50% better fps on Unreal 2k3 under linux than win2k on the same hardware.

@adr Makes you wonder if those game studios will ever have at least a passing thought that, you know, maybe they could use that extra performance budget that a clean OS allows (that gets even larger with native versions) for their own good.

@adr First it was MacOS becoming the OS of choice for many developers. Now Linux for games. Am I that old??? All the constants…aren’t.

@adr If we play our cards right, and the improvements to Linux's gaming performance keep coming in (particularly on Nvidia's side which is still a bit behind where it should be) then we might actually have a moment where Linux starts being noticed more by mainstream audiences. Like in the last few months the press around Linux has shifted way more positively and seems like newbies are experiencing way less issues than they used to.
If that happens, the network effect might kick in and Windows might be seen as the worse option. It's not the first time Microsoft went from first place to dead last by their own stupid own goals.

@adr @avon_deer so they just admitted that Windows sucks.

@adr to borrow an old question
"Could 2027 be the year of Windows on the desktop?"
