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.

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

I have to agree, it's better but not really massivley so.

About 10% fps bump and even bigger battery life improvement at the same time borderline justifies the title in my book

The evil of Microsoft is too great to resist. The only way to win is to deny it battle. And something about candles and cooking.

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"

Similar improvement to a new GPU generation, but on the same hardware. Sounds pretty massive to me.

Massive is a bit of hyperbole yes but gaining on battery and performance just by putting in the system is a lot remember that Steam OS also more configurable so it has more room to improve.
If that's not telling anyone with a surface level understanding that windows is shit nothing does. -

wrote on last edited by [email protected]When it comes to battery life, SteamOS was yet again a very clear winner in this with even demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 having 1 hour 31 minutes on Windows and 2 hours 6 minutes on SteamOS. In less demanding titles like Dead Cells the difference is absolutely insane jumping from 2 hours 47 minutes on Windows to 7 hours 8 minutes on SteamOS.

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.

This quick video from The Phawx seems to show that the battery performance difference isn't actually inherent to Windows, but rather that the GPU drivers don't throttle down the TDP when they should.
Windows has plenty of other issues but it seems any frustration about this specifically should be pointed at AMD.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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.

I think it's all a matter of perspective.
In absolute terms, these differences aren't very significant (with maybe the exception of the 2 hours to 7 hours battery life improvement in that one specific game). But in relative terms, especially when considering that these games are not native to Linux, that these degrees of improvement typically only happen after a hardware upgrade, and that these improvements are available on the same device as the Windows version, but for $130 USD cheaper, it all adds up to something significant. In my opinion, the word "massive" is appropriate.
I'm sorry to hear that Linux has been the least compatible for your uses. It's certainly not for everyone, but you at least have a plethora of alternative options at your disposal. I don't understand why you're making such a big deal about the manner in which other people are describing these improvements when clearly none of this applies to you.
