SteamOS destroys Windows by up to 75%, and I have the receipts to prove it
SteamOS isn't only easier to use than Windows 11 — it's straight-up faster.
I've long suspected that SteamOS is more efficient than Windows, and I'm far from the only one. The moment the original ROG Ally launched, comparisons between SteamOS and Windows started cropping up. It makes sense that SteamOS would be more efficient, with its gaming-first design and minimal overhead, especially compared to Windows 11's bloated list of features (and telemetry). There hasn't been a true apples-to-apples comparison, though. You could compare Windows to Bazzite, or try to poke and prod the Steam Deck to function like a Windows handheld. But there hasn't been a true one-to-one until now.
