    To be fair, Cyberpunk’s performance was awful for everyone at launch, Windows, Linux and consoles.

    At one point I remember seeing someone on Reddit show that the game was less likely to crash on Linux than on Windows. In that regard, one could argue the performance was better for Linux users when Cyberpunk launched. Mind you, the games was still a buggy mess at launch too.

      Cyberpunk’s performance was awful for everyone at launch, Windows, Linux and consoles.

      But it wasn’t? There were a lot of bugs, to be sure, but PC performance was not among them. Hell, I was on a 970 at the time, and it was still fine.

      The console versions specifically were a shit show.

      But in regards to running better on Linux, a lot of it tends to come down to shader precaching. Lots of stutters on Windows are the first time a shader loads. That was definitely the case with Elden Ring.
