I want to buy a gaming laptop from mainstream brands like asus, msi, hp. I wish to install linux for gaming.
On windows we do have softwares like armoury crate, omen centre etc to control performance profiles. On windows it is impossible to get peak performance without installing those softwares and bios options are usually limited
How are these things handled in linux? Without dedicated software, can the OS( not bios) achieve peak performance with powershell/terminal?
It’s very good - in some cases better than Windows. I have a MSI gaming laptop. The battery lifedin longer on linux compared to Windows.
With custom scripts you can control fan speed. However… I have a intel/nVidia card on KDE with wayland and it is hell. Nothing works as expected, so I can’t tell about gaming in itself.
For other tasks, it works really well.
More battery life means the cpu is power limited compared to windows + armoury crate performance mode?
Or that the CPU is not doing needles add servings.
