alt Hacker NewsI'd wonder about the performance impact of windows defender and the like.
I'd really wonder if one took a game that was on both xbox and linux. constructed a linux box to have basically as close to specs as on the xbox and then benchmarked the games against each othe, what would would see.
I'm not saying that linux is better than windows or that windows is better than linux, just that I think its very hard to make an apples to apples benchmark comparison and there are constant services on windows that run that one doesn't generally have running on a linux system that can cause problems.
I agree, but it sort of doesnt change anything.
You buy Windows as a product, and those subsystems are so spidered in that turning them off is not possible, and if it even was possible it would have some impact.
You buy Windows for games, thats been the consensus for years, the NT kernel could in theory run games 10x better, but it doesn’t mean anything because you only get it, with Windows.
So, an Apples to Apples comparison is Bazzite. The general purpose operating system you install and play games on. No need to apologise for Microsofts choices.
