how does anything handle raytracing? I watched a friend with a 5090 show off his bullshit money rig and maybe it was a 4k monitor or something, I didn't check, but it wasn't performant enough to impress me at that price range. Its probably also lack of optimization and nobody ever leaving the default unreal engine visuals.

Just living in an alternate reality here.

My 4090 handles cyberpunk 4k with path tracing at 120+ FPS.

Linux is objectively inferior when it comes to high fidelity gaming and it very clearly triggers some linux nerds.
