    …switching to Linux might be worthwhile for gamers on the move looking to eke out every last drop of performance from the ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go.

    So they’re talking about the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go not a desktop PC or a laptop. Nice clickbait.

      I’m on a desktop running Pop and I bet my system performs better than an equal Windows system. These handhelds are actual PCs, bud.

        Okay. But it’s still a clickbait title. Seeing how they said nothing handheld PCs in the title.

          The article is referencing a benchmark that was run on desktop hardware so not clickbait. Likely they mentioned the handhelds in the article for ref link revenue.

            Funny how they didn’t put in the article. Yet, I’m in the wrong thinking it’s about handheld PCs.

      They’re literally just PCs. They aren’t some mysterious thing. They’re using the same architectures a laptop or desktop would.

      The article talks about those mobile systems, but the actual benchmark on Computerbase tested these on a desktop.

      Ryzen 7 5800X

      Scythe Mugen 5 cooler

      Asus ROG Strix B550-A Gaming

      32BG DDR4-3600-RAM (CL18-22-22-44)

      Sapphire RX 6700 XT Nitro+

      Tested @ 1080p 144Hz, Freesync Off

        Microsoft bros in denial.

        Linux runs windows software faster than Windows can run Windows software.

        You don’t need to get upset by that. You don’t owe MS anything. Be happy that more people can game.

            Other way around, mate. I’m not the one crying and coming up with excuses and whatabouts when OS A does better than OS B in a benchmark.

            Microsoft has done nothing for you. They don’t love you. They’re a 2.8 trillion dollar company. They can get by without you carrying water for them.

            Get a hobby.

              Literally never said anything of the sort.

              Please go outside and get out of this toxic thinking. It’s not healthy for you.

                  You got offended. And several others it seems. By a joke, which you then immediately proved to be an accurate description of Linux users.

                  This is why more people don’t make the switch.
