Lucas and Luna break down how Linux gaming has quietly surpassed Windows on raw frame-rate performance in 2026. They dig into Valve's Proton 9.0, the shift to Vulkan as a universal API, and why NVIDIA's open-source driver gamble changed the game. Specific benchmarks from Phoronix and the Steam Hardware Survey show Linux now delivers 5–10% better fps on the same hardware for modern titles. The hosts discuss what this means for the desktop market share, the role of Arch-based distros like CachyOS, and why Windows users are starting to dual-boot just for gaming. A must-listen for anyone who thought Linux gaming was a trade-off.
