PSA: Linux
So I knew that linux was theoretically better at running the game. As in, "more ups/fps on the exact same hardware" better. Fine.
I was not prepared for the extent. The factory I gave up on because slowdowns started becoming annoying a year ago when I still ran windows, runs at full 60 UPS with a VERY occasional high 50s when I switch over to watch a platform blasting it's way through a dense asteroid field.
I haven't even installed the large pages malloc tweak yet.
I installed the game because I'm planning a SE run, and honestly this was a completely unexpected surprise!
