[Question] Which will give you more fps lightweight distros or gaming distros (proton and native)
Hi so i have been thinking to my self which type of distros gives fps boost is it gonna be gaming or the lightweight low resource usage
I cannot find anything its just all revive your old pc and its seperate
Pc specs:
mid-high end anything that is classified as "gaming"
for example garauda/ cachy(ik this isnt a gaming distro but alr) vs smth like antix or mxlinux
thanks for any answers,
It genuinely doesn't matter. Your FPS will be almost the same regardless of what distro or desktop environment you use. It might matter on VERY low end devices like ones with 4gb of RAM, but other than that, just use whatever you're comfortable with.
The point of a gaming distro isn't performance but just setting up everything you need like drivers and important apps that could be useful in gaming - like Lutris and mangohud and stuff.
31oh, I thought it was preformance and custom kernels with bore and stuff that boosts the fps
2It will never make changes as greater as 20% in the most extreme cases. Those tend to be just pre-configured to maximize such gaming performance, often at the cost of security, compatibility and stability. Most of those stuff could be adapted to other distros, and tend to be actually. If a change or piece of software made such important benefit to playing games, without any huge drawbacks, be sure it will surely be soon integrated in other distributions.

The distro doesn't matter.
Historically, your choice of desktop environment could affect FPS due to interference from desktop compositors, but most desktops these days are smart enough to disable compositing when full-screen apps (games) are active, or have a very fast compositor, or don't have one at all.
9oh yeah desktop envoirments as well matter not just distros i mentioned distros bcs some was designed to be lightweight + their desktop is lightweight
