Hey there, I’m relatively new to Linux, and I must admit, I’ve been spoiled by Nobara Linux. The gaming experience is seamless, with excellent performance and no issues so far. I know many people claim, “The distribution really doesn’t matter” or “There are only minor differences,” etc.
However, I don’t fully subscribe to this belief. Just recently, someone advised against recommending Linux Mint for gaming. If you take a closer look at the Nobara Project, Glorious Eggroll has implemented numerous patches, and benchmark videos do reveal a noticeable difference.
I’m eager to explore various distros, leading me to my question: How can one genuinely optimize their system for gaming? I’ve heard about applying kernel patches, but I’d love to hear more from those with experience. Achieving the level of optimization seen in Nobara Linux, thanks to GE’s efforts, seems like a lofty goal for me. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
x11 does support 2 monitors with different rates, I don’t know what you’re on about
It does, just not very well.
If you want both displays to run smoothly, the refresh rates must be integer multiples of one another.
E.g: as 55Hz+165Hz, or 72Hz+144Hz would work, but not 75Hz+144Hz.
So you have occasional minor tearing on secondary monitor… okay ?
This guy flat out said that X doesn’t support 2 monitors with different rates which is false.
Ever since they made it possible in 2021 I’ve barely ever noticed it
