Linux is increasingly the best OS for gaming on older hardware, outperforming Windows in some benchmarks. CachyOS, a lightweight Arch-based distro, is posting better in-game benchmark numbers than Windows. A Valve engineer named Natalie Vock fixed a Linux kernel issue where the OS improperly evicted game data from VRAM on GPUs with 8GB or less, causing performance degradation. The Linux community's focus on optimizing for existing hardware rather than pushing upgrades makes it uniquely suited for aging gaming PCs.
