On low power hardware many games run better because they not strangled by windows bloat.
- eru 2y agoHow bloated is Windows actually?
- throwaway48476 2y agoIdles at 50% CPU usage running background tasks on a dual core. For steam deck, enough to be noticeable in FPS.
- eru 2y agoIs that 50% CPU usage across all cores? That's impressive (as in impressively bad). I haven't used Windows in a few years, but I was actually fairly happy with Windows 10 as a casual user.
- throwaway48476 2y agoOne core, broadwell generation. Devs don't test on low spec machines and MS fired the team that maintained the testing PC zoo a decade ago.
- indemnity 2y agoI have a 9950X3D and doing nothing Windows still lights up a core 5-20% every few seconds doing god knows what. Linux on the same hardware does not.
