Why Linux Gaming Is Finally Beating Windows on Performanc...

What this episode covers

Lucas and Luna break down how Linux gaming has quietly surpassed Windows on raw frame-rate performance in 2026. They dig into Valve's Proton 9.0, the shift to Vulkan as a universal API, and why NVIDIA's open-source driver gamble changed the game. Specific benchmarks from Phoronix and the Steam Hardware Survey show Linux now delivers 5–10% better fps on the same hardware for modern titles. The hosts discuss what this means for the desktop market share, the role of Arch-based distros like CachyOS, and why Windows users are starting to dual-boot just for gaming. A must-listen for anyone who thought Linux gaming was a trade-off. #LinuxGaming #Proton #Vulkan #SteamDeck #NVIDIA #OpenSourceDrivers #CachyOS #Phoronix #GamingPerformance #SteamHardwareSurvey #Valve #Wine #DXVK #VKD3D #Technology #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
