Recent testing revealed that Arch Linux, Pop!_OS, and even Nobara Linux, which is maintained by a single developer, all outstripped Windows for the performance crown on Windows-native games. The testing was run at the high-end of quality settings, and Valve's Proton was used to run Windows games on Linux.

…switching to Linux might be worthwhile for gamers on the move looking to eke out every last drop of performance from the ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go.

So they’re talking about the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go not a desktop PC or a laptop. Nice clickbait.

I’m on a desktop running Pop and I bet my system performs better than an equal Windows system. These handhelds are actual PCs, bud.

Okay. But it’s still a clickbait title. Seeing how they said nothing handheld PCs in the title.

They’re literally just PCs. They aren’t some mysterious thing. They’re using the same architectures a laptop or desktop would.

The article talks about those mobile systems, but the actual benchmark on Computerbase tested these on a desktop.

Ryzen 7 5800X

Scythe Mugen 5 cooler

Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming

32BG DDR4-3600-RAM (CL18-22-22-44)

Sapphire RX 6700 XT Nitro+

Tested @ 1080p 144Hz, Freesync Off

Out of touch comment.

Handheld PCs are PCs.

Linux bros will take anything.

Microsoft bros in denial.

Linux runs windows software faster than Windows can run Windows software.

You don’t need to get upset by that. You don’t owe MS anything. Be happy that more people can game.

Imagine being this tribalistic over an OS. Get a hobby.

Other way around, mate. I’m not the one crying and coming up with excuses and whatabouts when OS A does better than OS B in a benchmark.

Microsoft has done nothing for you. They don’t love you. They’re a 2.8 trillion dollar company. They can get by without you carrying water for them.

Get a hobby.

Literally never said anything of the sort.

Please go outside and get out of this toxic thinking. It’s not healthy for you.

Sure you didn’t.

I hope no more benchmarks offend you in the future.

Bye now.

You got offended. And several others it seems. By a joke, which you then immediately proved to be an accurate description of Linux users.

This is why more people don’t make the switch.

You got offended lol. Take the L. Move on.
