# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `Valheim-Gnome` with a mean FPS of 124.04, which is around 11% higher than the other runs. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Valheim-Hyprland` with a standard deviation of 13.35 in FPS, which is around 15% lower than the other runs, indicating smoother performance. * **Best overall**: `Valheim-Hyprland` as it has a good balance between high FPS (around 8% lower than the highest) and very low FPS variance, suggesting a more stable and consistent experience. # Issues: * The `Valheim-KDE` run has significantly higher CPU load (around 18% higher than the other runs) and GPU load (around 2% lower than the other runs), which could indicate some overhead or inefficiency in the KDE desktop environment. * The `Valheim-KDE` run also has higher RAM usage (around 23% higher than the other runs), which could be another contributing factor to its lower performance. # Summary The provided benchmark data shows a comparison of Valheim performance on different Linux desktop environments - Gnome, Hyprland, and KDE. The results indicate that the `Valheim-Hyprland` run provides the best overall experience, with high FPS (around 8% lower than the highest) and very low FPS variance, suggesting a stable and consistent performance. The `Valheim-Gnome` run has the highest FPS, but slightly higher variance, while the `Valheim-KDE` run has lower performance, higher CPU and GPU load, and higher RAM usage, potentially due to inefficiencies in the KDE desktop environment. These insights can be useful for players and developers when choosing the most suitable Linux desktop environment for running Valheim.
