SteamOS destroys Windows
Quoting: SteamOS destroys Windows —
With the release of the Lenovo Legion Go S gaming handheld, we’ve now got a real apples-to-apples comparison of how Windows 11 fares against Linux (specifically, SteamOS with KDE Plasma) on the same 1st-party supported OEM hardware in a gaming context. And the results are pretty devastating for Windows in terms of performance and battery life — according to even windowscentral.com! Neither WindowsCentral nor the original video from Dave2d mention desktop mode, but the answer there is just as clear, as all of us in the FOSS space have known for ages.

SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S
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. That's a nice win for Valve's Linux platform, and only continues to show how drastically Linux has improved thanks to all the work on GPU drivers and the Proton compatibility layer.
With the release of SteamOS 3.7, this has only just begun. We're about to see a lot more of this.
