    No mention of important metrics like frame times, and 1-0,1% fps lows. You can feel these in game, even if you have 200+ fps.

        Interesting, the article isn’t working well under translate and I can’t see the frame time graphs on my phone. Does it state which kernel their running these games under or if these are x11 / Wayland?

        If their just using the stock kernel there are probably some gains (even just minimal) using another with some tweaks.

          They were using Proton, so most likely X11 as their windowing system. I’m guessing they were using the default distro kernels as of November 15, 2023 (when they ran the benchmark), but I don’t think the article said for sure.
