Let’s just say, the Steam Deck wipes the floor with the Windows-based
competition.
It IS "better" in that respect.
However I'm a tad concerned about HOW it manages
that ... how 'compatible' it is now and in the
future. "Tricks" are not always for the better.
Extreme game orientation can mean serious deficits
for OTHER apps/intentions. More or less direct
access to the hardware, video buffers, can vastly
improve 'game' speed - but DO present a number
of security risks as well.
We've also seen WayLand ... which was supposed to
provide 'much more performance' than X. Alas it
is now clear it will NEVER be ready for prime time.
Good try, but .......
Anyhow, we shall see ... the next few years will be
very informative.
For now, I'm gonna say Steam for games - but X
for everything else.
