ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume times

Jury's still out on Microsoft's optimization.

Edit: The video of that’s the original source of the test results had flawed testing for some of the games and seemingly didn’t set the same tdp limits when switching between the OSs. I’m guessing we’ll see other people test this out later, but for the time being it’s best to assume these results are exaggerated or wrong.

    This is purely from a broken test. Watch the video and you’ll see that its not testing with the same power limits.

    17w tests are actually 16w vs 20w+ and 35w test is 25w vs 35w

    This leads to drastically higher clock speeds on both cpu and gpu as seen in the video and thus higher fps (and power draw, so lower battery life)
