They approached this from a noob perspective and the benchmarks seemed pretty rough. The blog has an overall positive tone on linux which is nice even though it got murdered in performance.

I'd like to see a follow up with optimizations, get some of the linux community involved to help setup an optimized linux test bench to go toe to toe with their "golden image" windows 11 benchmark setup.

They benchmarked a few distros against each other and it was very samey which I expected, the real difference is between the drivers/kernel and desktop environment since most distros come very light in terms of installed software.

Lets talk linux gaming optimization. For them its probably best to take a distro like cachyOS out the box. The game should run inside gamescope with the desktop environment killed Feral gamemode enabled. Minimal services running in the background. I dont think they should go full HPC engineer (although that would be sick) but linux is all about taking full control of your software and hardware and pushing whats possible.
