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.

They said make electric cars fast, and you'll get car guys to buy in. It was true.

Now they're making linux make video games faster and prettier...

I dont know if there will ever be a year of the linux desktop, but this is the kind of stuff you gotta do to get there.

There won't be. It won't happen that quickly. If anything there will be a "decade of the Linux computer".
