Cyber dopamine’s test needs to be retested for this to be true. I love gaming on Linux and also regularly use my steam deck yada yada yada but come on.
To be fair, Linux would perform so poorly too, if it had 194 data extraction programs running in the background. This comparison is clearly unfair.
Are you able to remove the 194 data extraction programs that are running in the background as user?
Copilot probably won’t let you
I am sorry Dave, I am afraid I can’t do that.

Probably because it doesn’t have to run all the bloatware and spyware.

Yeah, but how are M$ supposed to mine your data and push AI shit onto you?
Pretty much everything that isn’t artificially crippled to not run on Linux runs better on Linux
Microsoft after spending $1 trillion to make everything as incompatible with Unix as possible: “Look, look! Our OS is performing 0.7%* better. This is why open source software is pointless.”
*Only in this specific, 1 in 1000000 scenario. Please refer to: aka.ms/fuckyourself for more information.

I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that nobody at Microsoft registered that short URL for the lulz or the resulting destination for short URLs that don’t get found.

That’s XBOX ALLY X, the more powerful version.
Also, I need to look way more into this as 32% sounds cherry picked as fuck.
Edit: yeah, this didn’t take much to find out. It’s due to a bug not apples to apples comparison. Still calls it Ally and not Ally X and SO MANY FUCKERS HERE FELL FOR THIS, JESUS F CHRIST.
You should be embarrassed, all of you. Hundreds of upvotes “oh yeah, figures!” with ZERO and I mean ZERO critical thinking. You read what you want to read and take it as facts.
So sure, if you run one device at 21 TDP and the other at 17, one will do better!
The increase in framerate varies from game to game. Hogwarts Legacy and Kingdom Come Deliverance run better on Linux.
Did we read the same article?

From the article:
Unless you’re really splitting hairs, 31.91% = 32%. Using the same TDP on both.
It’s due to a bug not apples to apples comparison.
There’s only two mentions of bugs, and both are used to describe Bazzite’s rapid development, nothing to do with performance.
So, what are you talking about?
Even if it were a fair comparison, 32% is still cherry picked. It’s the best result, versus the average result of
+6–7%(sorry, that was the fps increase) +13–14%. 🤷♂️I’m still proud of Linux for being this competitive. ❤️🐧
Look at the actual video that Tom’s is pulling data from. There is clearly a bug with the tdp limiting in Linux which is using far more power and thus higher clock speeds.
The only valid results are 13w vs 13w. The “17w” is actually 16w windows vs 20w+ Linux and “35w” is actually 25w vs 35w.
Did you read a different article than this one or something? What you’re saying makes no sense.
I’d be really interested to see how it runs the IoT edition instead of mainline Windows
Out of the box the ROG Ally runs Xbox FSE which is a stripped down Windows optimized for gaming, so the comparison isn’t with the mainline. I didn’t find a comparison with Xbox FSE and Windows IoT though.
I’m inclined to believe IoT would still have a partial advantage because of it being devoid of any unnecessary components - FSE still includes their “Gaming AI” and the Microsoft Store because it’s for home users rather than enterprise customers.
FSE = Fucking Shite Edition
This is already supposed to be a stripped down Windows version for handhelds
