A request that was asked since these games apparently run better on Windows. Vermintide 2 is about 20% faster on Linux and Doom Eternal about 20% faster on Windows.

You seem to be really ruffling feathers with these comparison tests. Who'd have thought they'd be so controversial?

Thanks a lot for posting! I find them interesting!

I'm glad OP's linux gaming experience is so much better than it is on windows. I don't say this to cast aspersions but if the results were reliable and repeatable, people like christitus, gardiner and many others would make daily videos on the topic just to get all the views(dollars) it would surely generate. It would cause a seismic shift in the PC gaming space.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but I don't think OP's claims are extraordinary. I think he's only saying "I've noticed Linux can outperform Windows on programs that are optimized for Windows. Kinda unexpected, but here are the benchmarks."

OP is not claiming that this is true in 100% of cases. For example, in this thread he points out that Windows outperformed Linux on Doom.
