I will ignore everything but the cat. I demand more pics of the cat.
Ignore the cat pic? Why did you add it?
I will not ignore the cat.
Really needed that cat pick today. Also always cool to see Linux kicking butt
Impressive.
Very nice.
…
Now… lets see Paul Allens cat.
Does the cat use Arch, BTW?
Fun fact: cats use arch all the time, btw
How is there not an Arch-derived distro that uses a cat in the shape of the Arch logo for their logo?
I think it’s an AUR package you can download and configure, probably the one that caused all the security issues for AUR the other week.
Nice cat.
Sometimes, you can get similar benefits on Windows running DXVK.
Some older DX9/OpenGL games like it in particular.
I will not ignore the cat pic, in fact I enjoyed it, tyvm.
Same. This is now a cat thread.

Maybe it was wishful thinking, but, somehow, I just knew that was the Badger Herald.
I feel like people don’t believe me when I tell them this is the case. Always glad to see evidence.
Didn’t valve test this sort of thing over a decade ago and found Linux to easily get better performance?
Yes.
Kind of.
Its… why they spent that decade making Proton, and now basically have an OS based off of it.

with the caveat that that was opengl vs directx9 accross operating systems and not necessarily “easy”. but it did make an important point that linux could run workloads like games in a very viable fashion.
Appreciate the cat image.
Irrelevant cat picture to get people to read the post works every time.
ITT: OP learns why reviewers take days to provide benchmarks for games. If you don’t come with receipts, it’s death by a thousand buts.
I once posted on /r/MacGaming how pleased I was that I could run Horizon Zero Dawn on my M2 Air using Crossover, and how it seemed (to me) to run better than on my massive, old, water-cooled PC with an Nvidia GTX1060. I wasn’t getting 120fps or anything, in fact, it was closer to 20fps at times. But I was running HZD on a fanless laptop, on an architecture on which it was never designed to run.
Foolishly, I was expecting a chorus of folks saying “yeah, cool, nice!”, but what I actually got were a bunch of folks demanding proof.
So I closed Reddit, because it wasn’t worth the arsehole.
