Games and game/steam environment variables is very high software chain. Based on what your are reporting.

Ie Phoronix: Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu Linux Performance On The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 "Strix Halo"

On a geometric mean basis, Ubuntu 25.04 was around 13% faster than the OEM install of Microsoft Windows 11 Pro that shipped on the HP ZBook Ultra G1a laptop.

Or

Tom’s hardware: Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty Runs 31% Faster on AMD GPUs in Linux Compared to Windows 11

You need to look at something low level. There is something unique wrong with laptop + kernel combination. Most search for why a game performance badly will not help you.

There has been many reported issues of unique issues for laptops that have taken a lot of work to fix like Linux 7.1-rc4 Seeing The Latest Laptop Quirks

If you are going to use Ilm I recommend using Claude Opus or equivalent. And Run in Claude Code and start with something like “I am running the following hardware:… I am seeing performance regression when running under Linux vs windows. Start with making me scripts to test and document low level performance for both windows and Linux”

I found that llms can be useful in troubleshooting.

Maybe start with comparing hardware sensor stats GPU/CPU temp/frequency/fan etc.

I think is useful to use a bleeding edge OS since what you are talking about, is a combination of kernel/drivers, user space tools and software.

Start with something low level maybe clpeak or as part of Phoronix Test Suite. A game is a complex software that touches many parts of a system, especially for laptops where some resources are shared.

I do agree that best solution is that we don’t need it.

Sadly bassed on what i hear, users are willing do Things on kernel level to cheat. Ie read/Write memory from a different program.

Youtube: Core dumped: can a gamer company really sabotage your PC? made a good video summarizing the issue.

I hope that a solution in some sense does not need to send more than som checksums that failed if there is a debug enabled, sign kernel modules that not trusted (ie. self sign), notify the program that hi there is a other program trying read your program’s memory or provided some restrictions memory space that even with debug enable you can’t read that space.

When i have a plex lifetime pass from 2016, dam 10 years. Plex works fine, my biggest complaint is the other steaming service they are trying to sell (luckily you can disable it), offline viewing on mobile needs a lot of love.

Everything else works good enough. Why should i spend time on converting?

My next thing I want to replace is my good Nvidia Shield, sadly with Android TV that 1/3 of my main page is an ad , and i can’t easily turn if off. And have not found a good alternative launcher.

It is like Microsoft windows, enshittification.

Yes when it comes to RAID, a UPS is a must.

Linux MDADM is not resiliency against power lose. And will overwrite from master if they are not equal.

Cow system ZFS, LVM, BTRFS and similar, have separate metadata table to compare against. But even then they can be affected by write hole in the event of a powerloss.

If you are thinking it for “backup” for redundancy in case of disc error, a solution can be to use something like borg backup, and a source disk as a BTRFS file system so you can be notified if there is checksum errors.

A cheap UPS is 60€, it will work good enough.

…connected to the internet from a public IP, no NAT and only protected by extremely complicated firewall rules. Their IT team must be in constant distress, or super defensive about their architecture haha

Why they will be protected like everyone else. With the same default rule like every other company.

I think it more odd that they haven’t sold it for a lot of money.
