Massively?
Yeah there’s improvements, battery and performance wise
There’s nothing massive here there is a decent bump in specifically the cyberpunk fps
Edit: geez this single comment brought more people out of the woodwork to respond to me than anything else I have commented on lemmy
I’m not even here arguing which one is better like come on now
Massively is the wrong word to use it’s that simple
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
Improved in every category for the games tested, most results in 2 digit improvement while costing $130 less… that’s massive by almost any angle you can frame it…
It’s insane to me that we’re disagreeing about the word massive. Rather than simply using it as the English definition…
We’re using the hype culture definition of massive. Bro get over yourself. The improvements are NOT massive, fps or battery wise.
They are better and possibly even TONY THE TIGER GREAT. Massive is the size of your mom’s ass, not these gains based on a different OS.
Also I respect all mothers but I couldn’t help but use a dumb joke to make my point.
And last but not least… Go make this argument about price and or Linux to anybody that needs convincing. Because it’s not me man. I have a Linux rig. I also have a Mac OS and a Windows (gasp) 11 laptop because i code, make music, and play games. Sometimes I just browse the web for fun
By the way guess which OS is least compatible with the many different softwares I use for these purposes? It’s Linux.
I think you just don’t understand or have a frame of reference for performance numbers.
Massive is the right word.
A simple OS shift and you are looking at a more than generational improvement in performance, and a multi generational improvement in battery life: massive.
I get that you might not be into these kinds of numbers enough to know what you are talking about about, but maybe refrain from commenting till you develop some context.
I mean, there is a bit of hyperbole here, the FPS aren’t that impressive - but the battery life improvements are I think more in the ballpark of “massively”
The response here is mild and some people are agreeing with you
To be completely honest, I am a little annoyed about all the people bringing up price.
… yo I agree too but we’re talking about performance here not price.
And saying that the price being free adds to the word “massive” being used aptly is just kinda dumb for real.
Anyway I’m going to turn off notifications for this comment. You’re correct that I’m probably being extra here. Well, you implied it but it’s true. It’s just like people don’t want to converse man. Thought we came out here that this part of the internet because we could actually talk about things, not say “no u”
and I’m definitely frustrated that I’ve been making comments for quite a while and the most engagement is when I barely say something not even negative about Linux.
Idk man. Have a nice day
To be completely honest, I am a little annoyed about all the people bringing up price.
Well I’m so sorry you’re offended (not really), but price is relevent when you’re comparing products.
If I was looking at a comparison between two watches and the reviewer brings up price, I’d consider that relevant information.
saying that the price being free adds to the word “massive” being used aptly is just kinda dumb for real.
Again, you’re just so wrong.
If product A is better than product B, that’s bad enough. If product A also happens to be free while product B costs over $100, then that’s extremely notable and should be brought up in a comparison.
Maybe it’s your line of thinking that’s just kinda dumb for real?
It’s just like people don’t want to converse man.
You’re such a victim. Oh wait, it’s you that started being hostile and dismissive. You’re the one who doesn’t want to have a respectful discussion.
When you talk like that, you shouldn’t expect people to treat you nicely in return. People are under no obligation to treat you nicely after you treat them poorly.
About 10% fps bump and even bigger battery life improvement at the same time borderline justifies the title in my book
I didn’t know you could beat windows, I thought it was a weird open world game.
Windows is a strange game. It seems the only winning move is not to play.
Much like another game, that we just lost.
SteamOS massively beats Windows
Linux massively beats Windows
History has been made.
Can we install this on PC yet? Sick of windows and all I do in my desktop is gaming via steam
Well, you can install any Linux distro and play there. For example Nobara, which is gaming focused.
You… can just install the steam client on just about any Linux distro?
I mean that’d be neat if I gave a fuck about handhelds in general or the Legion Go S specifically. I don’t. How does SteamOS do on my AMD 7950X3D with my 4090? Oh it doesn’t support those? Then it can fuck off (for now).
I mean they’ve done a good thing in general but it requires such special hardware that it doesn’t really deserve much praise. The whole attraction of Windows originally wasn’t just “it has a GUI” it was, "I can buy a printer that works with Windows and a piece of software that works with Windows, and know that I will be able to print from that software, and so forth. Without that level of hardware support, SteamOS just isn’t that exciting. Again, “Yet”.
I mean that’d be neat if I gave a fuck about handhelds in general
It kinda sounds like this isn’t a product for you, then…and that’s fine, but like, why comment haha.
