Is playing games or using other resource heavy applications on Linux/GNU viable or is the "near native performance" statement just a meme?

>CPU
You won't notice the difference
>Storage
Set up dedicated partitions or devices
>GPU
I seriously hope you have IOMMU-capable system with a dedicated gpu

It depends more on the virtual machine software and hypverisor you're using, than Linux. Virtualbox is fine for 99% of use cases, but if you want near-native performance and want insolated VM's then consider Xen and KVM+Qemu.

I've noticed that running raw CPU benchmarks between Windows & Linux, Linux constantly beat Windows.

However, due to crappy drivers, you'll probably get worst performance on Linux for gaming.

OpenGL definitely performs better than on Windows, at least for me.

Creating processes on Linux is a lot faster on Windows. Running a standard autoconf makefile takes ages on Windows compared to Linux.

Heard that this is a limitation of Windows' kernel, developers can't fix it.
