Hello!
Me and a friend are planning to develop a multiplayer game based on Unreal Engine 4. The game engine supports Linux natively, so we tough compile it and use it under a Linux distribution.
We came across with a great question mark: choosing between Linux and FreeBSD for best performance.
I am a Linux user for 3 years and I know how well Linux works. I'm focused onto Linux system administration. My friend is focused on FreeBSD system administration for 3 years.
We don't care if we'll use Linux or FreeBSD. We only want best performance. We want to know if FreeBSD can handle better the game and give more performance.
The game will be a multiplayer first-person shooter game. We'll have both open world and indoor maps. The game will be a futuristic play set, so it will contain futuristic-looking weapons with some nice looking effects at shooting and sound. I think a minimum of 4GB RAM will be enough for beginning, approximate up to 20 players supported.
I want to know your opinion. We want best performance possible, so we'll hack our game for this. But it'll depend on the OS. What do you recommend for such a game?
