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
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.
You care so much about glorifying linux everything else falls away.
In one specific game the battery life is much much better. In that one specific use case the word "massive" is used aptly.
All the other minor improvements are just that minor. Bud you saying that I'm wrong doesn't make me wrong.
And of course the vice versa applies.
How I KNOW this is not a normal discussion..... Who the hell brought up price? Certainly not me
Please continue to talk about random shit I never mentioned. I don't care. you do you
I'm not glorifying shit, I'm just pointing out how very, very wrong you are.
A 12% performance boost on average, simultaneously with a battery life improvement of up to 320%, requiring nothing but a software change is massive, especially when that software is free.
Are you purposely being a clown? I brought up price, because it's relevant in comparing two things.
Why are you so butt hurt that SteamOS is massively better on some handheld you probably don't even own? Why are you so hurt by this news?
