With the Legion Go S, we can now directly compare performance between official builds of SteamOS and Windows (infosec.pub)

We could obviously compare performance between windows and steamOS before on the steam deck, or between windows and Bazzite on other handhelds. But this is the first time we have had official windows and SteamOS builds for the same hardware.

I was specifically referring to games as a subset of software in general. Generally, I haven't run into a game that doesn't "just work" on Linux unless the developer has non-working anti cheat. Are there any major games you've tried that that wasn't the case?

As for all software, we still have work to do there.

I was going to put an explanation on why I can't use Linux, but it doesn't matter. I'm someone who can't make the leap yet with the software and game services I use. I want to be, but I just can't yet.

This is why the original commenter shouldn't get downvoted for asking about 10 iot benchmarks because I, too, am looking to convert to this version when consumer 10 support ends this year. If it works on my desktop well, I'd likely try it on my Rog Ally.
