   Tom's Guide brings out the numbers on #bazzite performance vs. Windows on the ROG Ally X.

   It's not pretty for one of our competitors.

     @jorge You know which side I'm supporting here, but those seem like some very cherry-picked numbers to me. The only consistent, reliable benchmark of the 3 tested is CP2077, and we definitely know Linux wins on that one.

     I think broader testing is required -- which is what I've been doing all day :D

     @jorge Heh, "work." I'm having the time of my life and I'm so happy I returned to this career path!

     And yep, I'm getting a LOT of data, at both Turbo and Performance modes.

     @jorge Well that's the thing, there's no black + white winning and losing right now -- except in the user experience battle. Bazzite + SteamOS already won.

     But, Tom's Guide shouldn't have made such a blanket, clickbaity statement based on 3 games. It sets people up for disappointment when they play some games where Windows has better performance. Then they get disappointed with Linux, not with the author.

     I think a smarter approach is demonstrating how fast Linux is gaining on Windows.

     @killyourfm Oh man if we lose then that means we have to claw our way back after such a bold statement. 😈

     This will be such a cool challenge, I'm all in.

     @jorge Like "Linux isn't winning everything right now, but let me paint you a picture of that inevitable future."
