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?
No, I have also found that my processes run faster on Linux than on Windows. I don't know what is armoury crate but from the way you're talking about it it manages CPU modes.
Whatever you do in Windows, you can in Linux (almost). But it is sometimes harder, sometimes simpler.
