I wonder what's changed. Used to be people would reboot into Linux for better performance in Quake.
- Fuzzwah 10y agoI don't recall that ever being a thing, and my quake addiction began playing on a cyrix based computer at large (for the time) lan parties. We did a lot of things to eek out more performance but as far as I recall no one was booting to Linux to do anything except run dedicated servers.
- elsonrodriguez 10y agoIt certainly worked for me. Linux ran SNES9x, Quake, and UltraHLE faster than Windows 95/98. I even got better pings. I stopped doing this around the time Windows 2000 came out.
