I've been using steamOS on a legion go, and the OS is so much more efficient than windows, so while the specs are important, it's also the fact that windows isn't draining most of the resources.

Valve is making the right moves, unlike Microsoft.

    They are definitely doing things right. My HX99G and Bazzite runs games much smoother compared to Windows 11. Or at least it feels like. CS2 de_train somehow has +40fps on Bazzite with the same settings on win11. Doom 2016 on ultra produces less fan noise when played on Bazzite (and maybe 10fps gain). Some other games feel like they work better on Bazzite too. But that is just by feeling.

    Considering that Steam Deck is a very low power device that can run AAA projcects of its release year - that is a major point in trusting Valve and their Steam machines capabilities.
