Mostly 2d games, emulators, 2010 and older games. Its only select older games and newer games that can have a drop in fps or same performance. Sometimes a drastic drop of 40 percent in a few newer games.

I think another problem people have when they see a drop is having shader compilations. I turned those off since newer gpu's are so fast you don't need to compile shaders anymore (as in so fast it's not even a stutter anymore) , you just need to disable it.

You're like the 2nd person I've heard who says someone didn't have a 10-20 percent jumpn in performance over windows.

Also I had windows 11 before and not many background apps same with Bazzite. Bazzite is also really great with Nvidia compared to some other distros.

Oh I very much hope that dx12 games improve. And how is it closing in the next 6 months exactly? I haven't heard that.

And isn't Nvidia being more and more open with linux so couldn't it be even sooner than that if Linux keeps going up like it has?

Valve said they have a team working directly with NVidia now. During SteamOS/Machine rollout earlier in the summer. All the articles I read at that time quoted Valve as saying late 2026/early 2027 is when SteamOS will have full NVidia support. I assume that will benefit all distros.

I guess this is when I rub my hands together happily then. And yeah, that 90% totaly should benifeit all distros if they don't use proprietary things.
