Recent testing revealed that Arch Linux, Pop!_OS, and even Nobara Linux, which is maintained by a single developer, all outstripped Windows for the performance crown on Windows-native games. The testing was run at the high-end of quality settings, and Valve's Proton was used to run Windows games on Linux.
Figure I should give context here. The Steam Deck isn’t available on Amazon. The link they give (which is covered in their affiliate nonsense, of course) is to one of those third party resellers.
Morality of those resellers aside, probably not what the article should be linking to as where to buy one.
They probably have a deal with Amazon where they get a cut if you buy it through a link from their site.
That’s their point about journalistic integrity
I’m agreeing with them and saying why this usually happens.
That’s the “affiliate nonsense” that parent poster was referring to.
