Welcome to LTT Labs - your go-to destination for all things tech. Explore comprehensive test results, insightful commentary, and the latest analysis in hardware.
They approached this from a noob perspective and the benchmarks seemed pretty rough. The blog has an overall positive tone on linux which is nice even though it got murdered in performance.
I’d like to see a follow up with optimizations, get some of the linux community involved to help setup an optimized linux test bench to go toe to toe with their “golden image” windows 11 benchmark setup.
They benchmarked a few distros against each other and it was very samey which I expected, the real difference is between the drivers/kernel and desktop environment since most distros come very light in terms of installed software.
Forget Linux vs Windows, the real question I have is why is Black Myth Wukong so poorly optimized that on a 4060 or 5060 it can’t reach 60 FPS at 1080p even on Windows? Freaking unacceptable.
You would think coming from the mobile world, Game Science would be used to low-spec hardware, e.g. phones, but this game can’t run well even on pretty new GPUs on PCs??? I had no idea this game had such abysmal performance. I wish people hadn’t bought it, so it could’ve flopped

I was hoping the Steam Deck would incentivize devs to have a lower spec target for their games, but so far I don’t think it had a huge impact…
