The new update on Linux has brought tons of improvements to its Kernel. PC players are now able to enjoy a way better experience on the operating system that stands for freedom. For those who are still trying to decide how to build their own gaming PC and Windows license charge you triple digits amounts for bloatware, fear not. Linux is free and open source, there’s entire distributions tailored to give users an experience out of the box. For those who might be quite new to computers, installing SteamOS as a daily operating system might be the best choice. SteamOS does not only handle gaming, but your other everyday tasks can also be done on it.
Update on Linux is a game changer
For those who are tired of the constant privacy violations or not even having the PC to upgrade to Windows 11, SteamOS or distributions like CachyOS are ideal. The current 6.14 Kernel update has brought many advancements on the gaming capabilities of the system. Thanks to it, players can experience a whopping 50% to 100% performance increase in some titles that didn’t perform that well before.
Elden Ring is a good example of Linux dominance over Windows. The game suffers from constant stutter and issues on any Windows OS, meanwhile Linux is the more stable platform to enjoy the epic FromSoftware title. Online games from Valve such as Counter Strike are also greatly benefited by this upgrade. Competitive games need plenty of FPS to be played at a high level, and Linux provides players the optimizations that are necessary to pull ahead of the competition.
If you are still being spied by “AI” bloatware on Windows, it would be cool to take Linux into consideration. Using terminals and commands is completely optional, and most distributions provide an easy out of the box single click experience, such as SteamOS.
