Linux 3D Games Run Faster On PC-BSD

Posted by Soulskill on from the with-enough-emulators-we-could-make-the-singularity dept.

koinu writes "Phoronix has published benchmarks comparing 3D game performance on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 with the FreeBSD Linux ABI emulation on the 8.2 release of PC-BSD, which is a desktop variant of FreeBSD. Most results show that the emulated Linux layer on FreeBSD performs better than Linux natively. It's pretty interesting, because most people would expect that an additional abstraction layer would generally slow down the execution of binaries."

    Linux: all the user friendliness of Unix coupled with all the stability of Windows 95 just in one OS. Worst of both worlds.
