Why does it look exactly like Kurzgezagt?
Close, its “the infographics show” channel, but now that I think about it, both channels have pretty similar art styles
I don’t know what this clickbait is but Im not taking it. Microslop sucks, and has for a very long time, but they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.
If you seriously want to know, bear in mind that you’re only going to get answers here from the kind of people willing to watch a youtube video based on nothing more than that clickbait thumbnail, and that audience might consist mainly of very weird people.
This is a cry for clicks.
Is the voice AI?
Regardless just put pihole and/or a router/switch that allows you to see the network calls between a computer and the internet and you will get a better look at what stuff the OS is reaching out for. MS is pretty bad, but not as bad as some people make them out to be. Linux has a couple (mostly just NTP and internet checks). I havent done the check with Mac OS.
You should not watch The Infographics Show, they regularly post misinformation.
Last I checked it’s true that you can get framerate in the area of or even exceeding that of Windows. What’s rarely mentioned however is that frame pacing can suck (119 frames in 1 second then 1 frame in 1 second averages to 60 frames per second to give an over exaggerated example) and will contribute to stuttery feel despite adequate framerates.
I daily Linux, have for 18 months, but this feels one sided.
Linux has been great, but it’s not been without issues.
Does Linux really perform better with not dropping low frames?
Not watching a 15 minute video, just responding to your comment. For AMD hardware, Linux is great. Most games run with the same performance, many run even faster, than native Windows, despite needing a compatibility layer.
Windows is the biggest bottleneck on PCs. The Windows scheduler is so bad that they have to bypass it and automatically pin fullscreen and game processes to CPU cores in order to get acceptable performance. They also recently updated Windows 11 to max the CPU frequency multiplier while mouse input is detected, in order to solve performance problems with responsiveness.
Windows fans will point to benchmarks of UE5 games, which still run with marginally worse performance on Linux compared to Windows. I play several UE5 games on Linux and the performance meets my expectations. The difference is not noticeable unless you are watching a performance graph. Time will tell if further optimizations put Linux at the same or better performance as Windows with UE5 games, too, like it already is for other games.
Pretty much the only games that cannot be played on Linux are games that deliberately disallow server connections from Linux clients or games that use Windows-only anti-cheat software. Everything else runs with good or great performance. This is the current state of gaming on Linux.
Since you covered AMD and not Nvidia: pre 1650 cards are completely unsupported (some distros keep old drivers in their repos, for how long - nobody knows), RTX20xx is like a corncob up your ass on Linux, RTX30xx and above start to handle things better, with RTX30xx losing up to 20% of performance and 50xx about 5-10%, in extreme cases (iirc The Last of Us) you will be lucky to break 20 FPS. There’s no Nvidia App, no Broadcast App either. There are currently a few versions of drivers, open source (not made by Nvidia), half open (made by Nvidia) and fully closed source (made by Nvidia), which only adds to the annoyance, as some drivers might work better for certain games, but obliterate performance in others, not to mention random crashing issues.
This channel has been getting suggested to me a lot lately through youtube. The videos seem “well produced”. And there does seem to be a human involved at some level. But they are pumping this stuff out crazy fast. And it’s always been sensationalist and one sided from my personal experience. Very clickbaity. Take anything expressed there with a fist sized grain of salt.
