I'm not sure which side of the discussion you're on from that reply, I was fairly balanced. I can try to restate again..

- linux gaming on amd is awesome with steam/proton

- linux gaming on nvidia is generally substandard but works well for some people

- Gaming is still generally more performant on windows

- The article title is misleading. A few specific games on a specific device ran faster on Linux than on windows. This isn't a large win for anyone except the people who optimised proton for this very specific chipset + processor + video combination.

- SteamOS will be great when it's fully out as a standalone thing and lead to more and more of the above scenarios as it's tuned for more and more devices, but right now it's only out for a handful of VERY specific devices

Which of those are grasping at which straws, from which viewpoint?

On a specifically tuned for steamos device that cannot use the latest windows graphics drivers....

- If you have NVIDIA (which is a HUGE majority of the market) then games will run worse on linux, including linux native ones

- SteamOS isn't supported on desktops yet, even if you're 100% AMD, so this is limited to a small selection of handhelds

- If you have a 100% AMD desktop proton runs games VERY well, but most games are going to benchmark slower.

Once/If SteamOS is supported on desktops then this will be awesome news.

I'm guessing you are being sarcastic, but with the new ROG Ally xbox branded handheld you can, AND the dashboard shows steam games along side msft store games as one big grouping.

I would guess this will be 100% possible with the next xbox as it's a model that makes sense. A lot of microsoft games are on steam already as well.

Even at 2.5 billion people (around 1950) the living standards were much, much higher -- look at how well houses were built back then.

Yes, for white people in the USA and some of europe.

Because they aren't trying to solve the problem of "replace every driver in every city in every circumstance".

This is like people saying no one should buy EVs because you can't go on a 2000km drive with only a 5 minute stop or two for fuel, or you can't tow the 3 tonne caravan you use once every 18 months.
