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.

A stupid amount of non tech users manage to use it absolutely fine, so I'm not sure what you're doing wrong tbh.

Linux is 100% not easier and not advertised as such.

Meanwhile, most of those users are running systems that are so deteriorated that it takes them a minute+ to open a browser.

On a machine that they only use to browse internet.

Believe it or not, but since I switched fully to linux things have been running a lot more smoothly to me. The biggest issue, if anything, being bad support for the operating system from some applications, but that excuse doesn't work for windows.
