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.
So they’re talking about the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go not a desktop PC or a laptop. Nice clickbait.
I’m on a desktop running Pop and I bet my system performs better than an equal Windows system. These handhelds are actual PCs, bud.
They are just PCs though…? It’s just a different form factor.
Okay. But it’s still a clickbait title. Seeing how they said nothing handheld PCs in the title.
The article is referencing a benchmark that was run on desktop hardware so not clickbait. Likely they mentioned the handhelds in the article for ref link revenue.
Funny how they didn’t put in the article. Yet, I’m in the wrong thinking it’s about handheld PCs.
Nope, from the Tom’s Hardware source:
It’s still relevant that this was not running on a Nvidia GPU, IMO, but not about handheld PCs.
So you have to going to another article to get the full story. gg notebookcheck.net.
Also can you link the Tom’s Hardware article.
They’re literally just PCs. They aren’t some mysterious thing. They’re using the same architectures a laptop or desktop would.
The article talks about those mobile systems, but the actual benchmark on Computerbase tested these on a desktop.

Handheld PCs are PCs.
Linux bros will take anything.
