For all the doubters that Linux gaming is smoother and faster. (video.hardlimit.com)

A video for any doubters that Linux gaming is better than Windows in which it DESTROYS Windows by 25% in AC Odyssey. To put it in perspective, 25% improvement is like getting a new GPU. You can save $600 and instead use something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for free.

DISCLAIMER: I don't really care to make Linux look better but I did a video some days ago and EVERYONE (on Reddit) told me Linux gaming CANNOT be faster or smoother. This is the proof it's both and more videos will be coming.

Obligatory I play exclusively on linux.

In the absence of a gamersnexus video or phoronix article, I'm going to take this with a large grain of salt. Especially when a video like this one is showing much higher performance in windows. The different cpu shouldn't account for much of a difference when playing at higher resolutions and the benchmarks shows the game being gpu limited.
