Intel graphics driver Linux worse?

I had Windows 10 on my laptop with the Windows drivers before, when I played CSGO there, it was not great, but it was playable, now I use Debian Linux (the most current), but CSGO is running terribly bad, and me I already searched the repos of Debian for alternative drivers but didn't find any, or I had already installed them. Is there a better one that I can get from other sources or what could it be, is it because of the older kernel that Debian uses?

Which graphics card, which distribution version. What GUI

cr

Intel HD605, Kernel 4.19, Gnome Desktop, Debian 10 Buster

They are already included.

Did you change anything in the settings?

You may want to check that your CPU is running at the highest possible clock while playing CSGO, if not you should use Feral GameModerun.

Oh so onboard.

Yes

Gamemoderun is not supported by CSGO.

According to Intel, they are already installed (meanwhile Ubuntu)

I would not say that the Linux drivers are generally worse. However, I'm surprised that this hardware runs a 3D game. In your case, the processor is probably a Pentium Silver. Such a CPU is simply too weak for everything except office and simple multimedia playback.

In addition, the CS: GO under Linux uses OpenGL while under Windows DirectX is used. The game was originally optimized for this API.

And Linux as an overall system is not so much optimized for gaming. It is actually quite normal that a game under Linux has higher hardware requirements than under Windows.

Possibly the change to the current Linux kernel (kernel 5.7) and the current version of the MESA graphics driver (version 21.2) will give you a performance gain. The packages in Debian are also very old.

Game mode can be used with any game. All you need is the corresponding start option in Steam.
