   The conversation around gaming on Linux has changed significantly during the last several years. It’s a success story engineered by passionate developers working on the Linux kernel and the open-source graphics stack (and certainly bolstered by the Steam Deck).

   Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be a history lesson, but it’s an appropriate way to introduce yet another performance victory Linux is claiming over Windows.

     @ReverseModule So, this is a bit ambitious, and I haven't really started yet, but I have a 2016-era midrange gaming PC. I want to run era-appropriate distros/kernels, and graphics drivers on it, then compare the performance to 2024 versions on the same hardware. I'm hoping that will show the progress.

     @killyourfm Amazing article as always and I think the CP2077 results show how much VKD3D has evolved in the past few years. Great work from the Linux and Proton devs. Much respect and many thanks to them! :)

     @killyourfm I've recently got a racing wheel and been playing some racing games on the Framework 13 with Ryzen 5, and it blows me away how well it runs games at 1080p. Also Linux compatibility has been great.

     @JayT That's awesome! What games are you playing? (I've been thinking about a wheel...)
