I'm not deep on how the core of an OS works, but to my understanding, the kernel of linux should be more robust and reliable, shouldn't it always be performing better than windows on the same hardware?

Where could I read information on the things that hinder performance on linux, does anybody have any educational resources?

windows 11 able to play games that linux distros cant*

Only because the publisher or developer specifically don't want their games played on Linux. And it's mostly because of anticheat

I dual boot arch and windows 11 at home. In World of Warcraft arch is behind, and I haven't figured out what the problem is. Something just feels off with it. With any luck they'll continue to improve compatibility. (likely Nvidia driver diff)

It actually works flawlessly, except for those windows only games of those ones with anticheat bullshit. Especial on AMD, as all the drivers are baked into the kernel and it's literally plug and play.

Since Steam stops working on Win7 in january I was forced to update the OS and I went with Ubuntu since the newer windows seem like plain garbage and spyware. Installing the OS was a huge hassle and getting DayZ to run on it wasn't without an issue either but it works now and the performance seems to be about the same. I only use the Linux machine for occasional gaming so it'll do but I'm not sure if I could daily drive it. Everything seems to need you to do something in terminal which I understand nothing about and aren't interested in learning.
