Games run faster on SteamOS with proton than Windows 11, Ars testing finds
FTFY. I hate all these articles that downplay the heavy lifting proton (and all the tools that make it up) are doing. But “Proton makes games run better” doesn’t get the same attention.
Proton is amazing, but it’s entirely overhead translating library/system calls to Linux. It’s accurate to say they run better on SteamOS, not to say Proton is making it run better.
Now maybe Proton makes them run better than a janky but native Linux port, but that’s a separate statement about games being better optimized on Windows.
Hogwarts legacy, which is a exe, runs on proton but not on windows 10. I’d say proton runs better than windows.
They’re not only being better optimized on Windows which results that running them through Proton is better. In a lot of cases Windows versions actually run, while native Linux don’t, because there’s no single stable API (ABI? Idk) on Linux and games break when you update your system.
(ABI? Idk)
Application Brogramming Interface?
Almost. Application Binary Interface
I believe it, Windows bloat these days is so bad. I keep telling my friends Tarkov runs better on Linux if they’d just let me play the goddamn multiplayer I’d be golden
Tarkov runs on Linux!? I thought they had kernel anticheat that didn’t work
Pvp doesn’t work yeah, everything else does
dang i couldn’t even get the launcher to work when i tried with lutris the other day
That’s odd, my best guess is the version of proton lutris is trying to use is installed incorrectly. I had that issue in my laptop for awhile.
I also had issues when I tried to install Tarkov on an NTFS drive.
it’s possible, i tried several proton and ge-proton versions and was getting a dotnet error that it couldn’t ensure a single process iirc
Ah, there’s a special installer on the lutris site that should install all that, did you use that?
i will look into that thanks!
