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%. 🤷‍♂️

Oh sure. Headlines are always going for maximum clickbait.

The bottom line, from the article and video is that the experience is much better in Linux, outside of the kernel anticheat games.

    It's only better because it's using much more power so higher clock rates.

    I'm not sure I understand the point that you're trying to make.

    If you use Linux you can use more power to get higher clock rates, have a longer battery life, more stable framerate and a suspend feature that works.

    It seems reasonable to say "ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with"

    It's like claiming a race car is only faster because it produces more horsepower... yes, that's the entire point and what we want.

    Way to twist the facts. The difference is that the powerlimits aren't working properly on Linux not that it can offer more.

    His test was supposed to be at 17w but it was running over 20w in linux.
