minus-squareNevrome@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years ago worse OS Not necessarily worse, it depends how you see it. Windows lets me run my PC Gamepass for Xbox as well as Steam, retro console emulators, Python IDE etc, out of the box. However, it doesn’t let me suspend games and it sure is more taxing on the hardware to run. As I’m not exclusively playing on Steam, the ROG is perfect for my needs.

minus-squareILikeBoobies@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoYou can use gamepass streaming on any system that has a Chromium browser
minus-squareILikeBoobies@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 years agoThe base performance is the same but worse battery life because of the OS but it has a performance mode that performs better but even worse battery life then a super performance mode where it has to be plugged in to use
