Linux Mint XFCE Gaming Benchmark | Shadow of the Tomb Raider | RTX 3060Ti

Описание: Shadow of the Tomb Raider gaming benchmark on Linux.

This video shows gaming performance on Linux Mint using the XFCE desktop.
All tests were recorded on the same PC with identical settings to ensure a fair comparison.

🇬🇧 English
Linux Mint XFCE uses a heavily customized XFCE compositor, which can cause internal downscaling and pixelation when capturing via OBS on X11, especially on ultrawide resolutions.

Recommended workaround:

Completely disable the XFCE compositor

Use Picom as an external compositor (GLX backend, no vsync)

Use Game Capture (specific window) in OBS

Ensure desktop scaling is set to 1.0

With these adjustments, recording quality becomes comparable to other XFCE-based distributions.

🇩🇪 Deutsch
Linux Mint XFCE verwendet einen stark angepassten XFCE-Compositor, der bei OBS-Aufnahmen unter X11 – besonders bei Ultrawide-Auflösungen – internes Downscaling und Pixelbildung verursachen kann.

Empfohlener Workaround:

XFCE-Compositor vollständig deaktivieren

Picom als externen Compositor nutzen (GLX-Backend, kein VSync)

Game Capture (bestimmtes Fenster) in OBS verwenden

Desktop-Skalierung auf 1.0 setzen

Mit diesen Anpassungen erreicht die Aufnahmequalität das Niveau anderer XFCE-Distributionen.
