From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

article from February, anybody got benchmarks? pretty sure this is long since merged and working iirc

[–] quantumcog@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 months ago

It is merged in 6.10 which is about to be released on Sunday (14 July)

[–] Vash63@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

It's not merged, but the benchmarks are against upstream wine. Proton has hacks (fsync) that have almost identical performance uplift but were not suited to upstreaming.

So basically this will improve "correctness" versus current Proton, not performance. Should fix some bugs and improve compatibility.

Versus stock wine, it's a huge perf uplift though.

Only thing I can find is this OS News article saying it should be in the 6.10 kernel

I can not find any confirmation that it is.

@Technus @pbjamm This sounds sooo good 😊.
#gamingonlinux has come a long way and still keeps improving.

It's actually being pushed as "broken" for 6.10 but should hopefully be completely available in 6.11.

[–] mactan@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

oh that makes more sense, for some reason I thought it was in 6.9 already

If you had read it you'd have answers to your questions.

They are trying to merge it in 6.11 bit has to go through Greg and Torvalds himself. The benchmarks, once again, speed-reader, are on the article.

[–] pbjamm@beehaw.org 13 points 4 months ago

No need to be rude.

It seems to me that Mactan was hoping for some independent recent benchmarks.

Presumably they wanted something a bit more thorough and clear than a table of numbers with no information besides:

These tests were done on various hardware running games, both old and new, with and without the new driver being active.
