I suspect this is comparing against default Wine without fsync or esync (which are included with Proton and some wine builds) but from memory, ntsync has better compatibility and some performance gains over fsync (the next fastest alternative). But don’t expect 50% performance gains compared to fsync in most workloads.
Any bit of improvement is good in my book, though I agree that the title is a bit misleading.
Yep, and most people are already using fsync anyways via proton/lutris/etc. so the gain is a bit misleading.
This sounds wonderful. I played Windows games on Linux for a decade, and it was often a painful experience. I’d love to see some real life in-game comparisons to illustrate what this brings to the table!
I promise I won’t go more into the tech bits meant for developers 😅
Checks if they’re still on/coming from programming.dev
I wish there were comparison numbers with windows too
Oh so it’d be a kernel update?
That could mean quite awhile before the normie distros see it?
