XWayland Lands Fix For At Least One Game Hanging It & Causing 100% CPU Usage

[SSJBurger]

Most of the problems for any OS is the user, but since Windows has Microsoft libraries/functions/annoyances/ads forced/compressed into the OS, the system is both much slower and less stable because of it. Then it's the usual Windows is a mastodon system that carries too much than it's worth..

Agreed, my post was aimed at gaming specifically as the topic itself is also aimed at that. I never really have any issues on linux. Small things do pop up that get fixed relatively quick. I never experience issues on Windows outside of the occasional needing to downgrade my AMD drivers after noticing the newest one introduces in-game stutter. But that's pretty much the difference between the two.

But I can say this.. Booting up KDE and my custom ReviOS W11 I don't notice any performance difference. Granted I have good hardware 5800x3d,6800xt,3800mhzcl14 ram.

Don't forget it's filled with spyware.

Using Wireshark to check what a freshly-installed copy of Windows 11 was doing on a brand-new laptop, what they saw was eye-opening to say the least: just after the first boot, Windows 11 was quick to try and reach third-party servers with absolutely no prior user permission or intervention.

Try running some specialized workload or heavy I/O and your windows will be on its knees.

I generally hate any discussions about Linux vs Windows that say that one is more stable or performant than the other. It alwayds depends. They're being updated all the time and depending on what parts of the OSs you interact with the most at a given time, you're gonna reach a different conclusion.

I've experienced a bunch of issues with both and a legitimately like both even if if I prefer Linux.

On Linux I can say that most of the issues I've experienced are from using an Nvidia GPU but those issues are less and less common as time has gone on but there are non-nvidia related issues as well. For example, Davinci Resolve recently stopped launching because it looks for the system's version of libPango but uses a copy of Glib in its own directory. That was a simple enough solution but it took me a bit to figure out what was wrong. There have also been days when Steam just won't launch. VS Code has a new bug for me where dragging it to my second monitor will cause it to crash.

On the Windows side, I will rarely run into issues like those but I have had a issue where I was installing a game via the Xbox app and it corrupted the metadata on my 4TB drive and made it look blank. All the data was there, I just couldn't access it. After contacting Microsoft about it, they just suggested I just run a file recovery, which I did. It took 24 hours to recover to another drive and few more hours to copy back.

I have gotten literally two BSoDs in my life, one from the GPU physically dying and the other from my RAM physically dying.
By the way, those would have caused Linux to kernel panic as well.

I haven't gotten a BSOD in years. I've rarely even gotten a GSOD and that only happens in insider builds. Windows isn't eternally stuck at the state it was in 9x/XP. Just because it has a notable visual signifier for when it crashes and dumps memory doesn't mean it crashes way more often than other OSs. I have had times when Linux crashed on me but the screen doesn't go blue. Who fucking cares?

Well, I can't run yay -S (program) while gaming on linux or my game stutters to the point its unplayable. While installing things on Windows while gaming never has the same effect. I am sorry but for me Windows never crashes or has issues. I don't use stock W11 I have always used ReviOS.

The problem with a some people in both Linux and Windows community is how biased their opinions are on the other side. We even see it with Gnome vs Kde vs Xfce in the Linux community, We see it in Windows 7 vs 10 vs 11 people in the Windows Community.

The whole BSOD infamy thing only comes from the state of 90s hardware anyway, due to the great capacitor plague. Windows BSOD'd all the time because the hardware was faulty straight out of the factory. If Linux was as big as Windows then, it would have had an even worse reputation. Windows XP is very stable, I never had a problem with it. And 9x was never a serious product to begin with, it was a bridge product to get people from DOS to NT, so it's not like it was even meant to be rock solid.

Bias is kind of inescapable. I think the issue is fanaticism to some degree or just the human love for making blanket statements.
