According to YouTuber Dave2D who managed to get their hands on the Lenovo Legion Go S, the SteamOS version destroys Windows in performance and battery life.
I’m not glorifying shit, I’m just pointing out how very, very wrong you are.
A 12% performance boost on average, simultaneously with a battery life improvement of up to 320%, requiring nothing but a software change is massive, especially when that software is free.
Who the hell brought up price? Certainly not me
Are you purposely being a clown? I brought up price, because it’s relevant in comparing two things.
Why are you so butt hurt that SteamOS is massively better on some handheld you probably don’t even own? Why are you so hurt by this news?
An improvement of 5-10 fps doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s like buying a newer gen graphics card, at least for some games. Or what you would achieve with a medium to substantial overclock. In this case it’s just the OS though. Just the software.
You care so much about glorifying linux everything else falls away.
What else? Nitpicking at the use of words in news articles?
What I’m personally more skeptic about is the actual numbers. We don’t have benchmarks. We just have this one table that shows fps, and no 1% and 0.1%s.
My nitpicking or did I say the word massively isn’t really applicable here?
So, you wanna nitpick at that too? Fantastic
I mean we see the whole gamut here that stickman argument talking about things I never mentioned
There is no fucking way you aren’t just a troll. Because we’re on Lemmy I usually assume best intents, but all you have been doing so far is talking shit.
I don’t find arguing semantics to be very productive, which I think is the reason you are being downvoted. The differences between SteamOS and Windows on the Legion Go are very significant, with SteamOS gaining as much as hours of extra gameplay, in addition to modest performance gains and major improvements to usability and quality of life. And yes, the Windows tax is very much a part of the big picture even if it’s not mentioned in the article. With Windows preloaded, you are paying $100-200 more for a significantly worse product. I don’t see any reason to engage in Windows apologetics over this, especially here.
Buddy get over yourself. Geez, it’s so clear that people just love the mobthink around here regarding Linux.
Feel free to take a second look at any of the comments I made in this thread and tell me how many of them are regarding windows. Literally all of the other comments/commenters have been bringing up windows and 20 different things I never mentioned.
Also I’m pretty sure you don’t know what that word you use twice mean so here’s the definition.
I NEVER advocated for you or anyone to use windows over steamos. I just said the improvements weren’t massive
As far as I can tell, no one has accused you of promoting Windows over Linux, but please feel free to correct me if I missed something.
I think the flak that you have been receiving is based on your perceived attitude, whether or not that perception is accurate. Many, perhaps most people in this thread, myself included, think that 10%+ FPS improvements can be accurately described as “massive.” You can absolutely disagree in a reasonable and good faith manner.
My understanding and perception of your responses is that you not only disagree that the outlined improvements can possibly be described as “massive,” but also that anyone who claims otherwise is a blind Linux shill, doesn’t understand the definition of the word “massive,” and is suffering from mob mentality.
Countering the argument, and not the messenger (e.g Buddy get over yourself. Geez) is a much more effective way to express your point.
Buddy. Look at your behavior in the thread. You have multiple posts getting super offended and pissy over a news article about large gains in linux over windows for that hand held device.
Only one that needs to get over themselves is you.
Yes. Massively. And I don’t know why you’re doubling down on being wrong.
12% faster with anywhere from 34% to 320% better battery life, and $130 cheaper is massively better, especially on the exact same hardware.
The difference is astonishing, tbh. I’d have expected a negligible difference.
Massively better was completely correct, and you are wrong to state otherwise. It’s that simple.
You care so much about glorifying linux everything else falls away.
In one specific game the battery life is much much better. In that one specific use case the word “massive” is used aptly.
All the other minor improvements are just that minor. Bud you saying that I’m wrong doesn’t make me wrong.
And of course the vice versa applies.
How I KNOW this is not a normal discussion… Who the hell brought up price? Certainly not me
Please continue to talk about random shit I never mentioned. I don’t care. you do you

My nitpicking or did I say the word massively isn’t really applicable here?
It’s really been interesting to read all the comments here. People here are very personally invested in their OS of choice on their gaming handheld.
I mean we see the whole gamut here that stickman argument talking about things I never mentioned, etc etc etc
So, you wanna nitpick at that too? Fantastic

I’m sorry who is engaging in windows apologetics? Not me frfr
only one proselytizing anything here is you, bud.
and you seem to be proselytizing for windows with how insistent you are to try to handwave and rugsweep the increases in performance and usability
