Windows Was The Problem All Along - Dave2D
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 am a little curious how something like Ubuntu would do on one of these gaming handhelds. Steam OS is a nicer user experience but I always wonder if it also adds any significant optimization.
I think you’re a bit better off with SteamOS’s gamescope rather than going through gnome-shell.
What do you mean? It’s just steamos is arch linux with a fancy suit.
Arch can be configured many different ways.
iirc the original SteamOS for the SteamBox was Debian-based (like Ubuntu), i think they switched it to Arch since it moves a bit faster and offers a bit better compatibility.
No, they switched because Arch has a rolling release
i know but it’s a thread full of windows gamers and that’s more or less the important takeaway for them. i know there’s a lot more to it than that.
