New benchmarks show SteamOS outperforming Windows 11 on Lenovo's handheld PC

SteamOS is a linux. Flavoured by Valve, installed on Steam Deck (or any other system if you want) so you can do whatever you want, e.g. made it a home server:

And if someone like pewdiepie managed to run home server 'on pc with joystick' it is safe to say you should broaden your horizons:

Nice chat. I'm long done with Linux advocates going hard with 3% market share.

Sure, you do you. But this discussion wasn't about advocating for Linux.

That's fine. There are still optimizations in SteamOS on top of the base Linux they're using. Nobody is saying or implying otherwise. And nobody is saying or implying that they are game-changing optimizations (it would look really bad for Linux if they were). And I'm arguing semantics? See the irony?


If they focused on getting the most out of a set of specific hardware (instead of generic drivers), then that's another optimization.
And if Windows having/using a gaming mode outside of the normal Windows install, it would imply it's been gaming optimized. Though, I don't know if said gaming mode is standard in a normal Windows install.


And that is also why I refer to Windows as the general-purpose OS (that bloat keeps maximum compatibility for a general range of items). And why I'm (still) not surprised SteamOS beats Windows (in most cases).

Arch Linux is designed to be optimized for any and every application by allowing the user to choose what is installed. Windows, on the other hand, is archaic and bloated to ensure maximum compatibility and data collection. You're right; it's not a fair comparison.

You should be thankful to Linux and Valve in particular for creating competition. Now Microsoft is improving Windows.
