I bet the ps5 os runs games batter too lol

Linux runs games faster even outside of Steam OS.
Ok. That doesn't change the fact Steam OS is specifically game focused.
-
Steam OS isn't on Windows.
Duh. Reread what I wrote.

You do realize you’re in a Linux gaming community?
You can quickly and easily filter this community out from being shown to you.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]That's just a stupid claim, SteamOS is Linux based, and every Linux distro generally have the same optimizations SteamOS has.
Windows is simply not as efficient as Linux is.
For instance multi threading has traditionally worked better in Linux, but there has also been made massive improvements in the kernel to improve graphics card performance, with entirely new technologies introduced a few years ago to achieve that.These things also benefit CAD and other 3D-software, so it's not just a "gaming" thing. Linux is simply generally more efficient than Windows, at mostly any task.
Valve has done a lot to help improve game performance on Linux, and these improvements are merged into the respective main projects, like kernel and drivers and graphics libraries. The same is simply not possible in Windows, because Windows is proprietary.
Windows used to have a clear advantage in that all optimizations by GPU vendors and game developers were made primarily for Windows and Linux was just an afterthought. Also games were made for DirectX which is native for Windows, and a compatibility layer for Linux.
So for decades games made for both generally ran better on Windows.So it is absolutely impressive that Linux can now run games faster than Windows. Despite having only a fraction the marketshare.

Apparently it does to you.

Tell me what Steam OS is designed specifically for.
Ill wait.

From your replies it appears so.

Except that it’s not. It’s just arch Linux with some modifications for the steam deck/handheld mode. It’s not like they built a new kernel specifically for the steam deck. Which is why the other persons correct.

Let me know what you think Steam OS was built for. I'll wait.

Running a translation layer that allows windows games to run
What OS are all games optimized for?

Show me the test that demonstrate games run faster on SteamOS than Arch which SteamOS derives from. -

I agree that the majority of the impact being seen is from various components that aren't SteamOS specific, however Valve does actually have a custom kernel for the Steam Deck "linux-neptune" (there are quite a few mirrors for browsing, but this is the official source).
I believe most of their changes are just to drive the deck's hardware. Every now and then there are some changes that Valve contributes that lands there first before it gets upstreamed, for example the Arch Wiki calls out the Steam Deck's kernel as a way to fix issues between HDR & VRR (shouldn't be needed anymore on modern mainline kernels).

There's nothing else in your comment anymore. Why say anything in the first place if you're just going to change your mind about it and give up? There's something to be said for making up your mind before you talk. All your comment really says is "I have no convictions".
