Comparison

Final words

To be honest I am just bored and wanted to test out the performance between the two OSes. I notice on Linux that whenever I am in a gunfight that the mouse input slows down, feels like I am moving the mouse through mud or something. That might not be apparant from the numbers alone but it is really weird and makes it almost impossible for me to micro-adjust the aim during a fight :(. We can conclude that CS2 indeed runs pretty well on Linux (except the weird mouse input slowdown during fights), but I am not smart enough to analyze the results any further. But I hope that someone somewhere may find these numbers interesting.
