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.

This may be a YMMV situation. I'm not a huge gamer, but Pop has worked great for me for nearly all games I've tried. The one glaring exception has been the Civilization series (specifically 3 and 6)... Anyone know if that's a Linux problem, a Pop problem, or a just me problem?

(Also, sorry you're getting downvoted for sharing your honest opinion/personal experience)

I had a bunch of issues and the more I tried to fix it the worse it got to the point that steam wouldn't even work anymore and couldn't get any games to launch. I'm not worried about upvotes so it's all good lol .

I've played civIV on fedora and had no problems (I was using a jc141 release, though).
