@jorge You know which side I'm supporting here, but those seem like some very cherry-picked numbers to me. The only consistent, reliable benchmark of the 3 tested is CP2077, and we definitely know Linux wins on that one.

I think broader testing is required -- which is what I've been doing all day :D

@killyourfm Oh man please tell me you're writing this up.

I need more data!

@killyourfm Also, you poor, poor man, doing all that tough work ... all day even?

@jorge Heh, "work." I'm having the time of my life and I'm so happy I returned to this career path!

And yep, I'm getting a LOT of data to write about, (both Turbo and Performance modes).

@killyourfm Oh man if we lose then that means we have to claw our way back after such a bold statement.

This will be such a cool challenge, I'm all in.

@jorge Well that's the thing, there's no black + white winning and losing right now -- except in the user experience battle. Bazzite + SteamOS already won.

But, Tom's Guide shouldn't have made such a blanket, clickbaity statement based on 3 games. It sets people up for disappointment when they play some games where Windows has better performance. Then they get disappointed with Linux, not with the author.

I think a smarter approach is demonstrating how fast Linux is gaining on Windows.

@jorge Like "Linux isn't winning everything right now, but let me paint you a picture of that inevitable future."

@killyourfm Oh yeah, I like that idea, measuring the gain is a fantastic approach.

Well then, I'll let you get back to "work".

@SNThrailkill Oh no hahah.
