This time, ComputerBase benchmarked three Linux distributions: ' Arch Linux ,' ' Pop!_OS ,' and ' Nobara OS .'
Among them, Arch Linux is particularly positioned as ``Linux-like'' because it is provided with the minimum necessary configuration, and is also known for being the base of SteamOS 3 that runs the portable gaming PC `` Steam Deck ''. In addition, the remaining Pop!_OS and Nobara OS are positioned as gamer-friendly Linux distributions that are easy for beginners to access due to GPU support and ease of installation.
An AMD machine equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and Radeon RX 6700 XT was used for benchmarking, and Windows versions of ``Cyberpunk 2077'', ``Forspoken'', ``Ratchet & Clank Parallel Trouble'', ``Starfield'', and ``The Talos Principle 2'' were tested on Valve. This was done by running it on each Linux through the Proton compatible layer and measuring the frame rate at that time.
In our tests, all Linux outperformed Windows 11 by a small margin.
Although there were variations in the rankings in the analysis of each game, Nobara OS took the top spot in three titles: 'Cyberpunk 2077,' 'Forspoken,' and 'The Talos Principle 2,' and Arch Linux took the top spot in 'Starfield.' Ta. Among the games benchmarked, Windows 11 performed well only in ``Ratchet & Clank Parallel Trouble''.
The difference in frame rate between each OS was small, with most titles having an FPS difference of less than 8 between the fastest and lowest OS. The only exception was Cyberpunk 2077, which had the slowest OP! There was a 17fps difference between _OS's 72.7fps and the fastest Nobara OS's 89.6fps.
Technology media Tom's Hardware says, ``ComputerBase benchmarks show how much Linux gaming performance has improved, despite the extra processing required by Valve's Proton compatibility layer. Because we were able to achieve performance that outperformed or came very close to Windows 11. This is because Linux has now become a very competitive gaming platform, and with Proton you can easily improve performance for Windows without sacrificing performance. It means we can play the game.'
