You mean some games built for Windows run better on Linux (and I'd be curious to know which ones actually run better). Some games barely run on Linux, some just don't work, some get broken by new versions, etc.

And computers aren't just for gaming. Some people actually work with their computers. Let me know when photoshop or autocad run smoothly on Linux.

Cyberpunk runs exactly 3fps lower on NixOS than on windows during benchmarks on ultra, with dlss and ray tracing. Totally negligible performance difference but being on Linux is not.

Not sure how this is supposed to answer what I wrote, but okay, thanks for the information.

If a game that runs bleeding edge features on windows can be made to run on Linux, then it’s safe to say that anything can run on Linux.

If autocad or photoshop don’t work it’s not because Linux can’t handle it, it’s because the authors of those programs don’t want you to. It’s DRM, every time; not some limitation on what wine can do.
