…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.

They are just PCs though…? It’s just a different form factor.

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.

Nope, from the Tom’s Hardware source:

ComputerBase’s testing was done on an all-AMD test rig, featuring a Ryzen 7 5800X (non-3D) and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.

It’s still relevant that this was not running on a Nvidia GPU, IMO, but not 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+

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.
