Honestly, in terms of ease to play, SteamOS (or clones like Bazzite) don't ~~do under~~ fall short of Windows. Heck, I'd argue they might even be easier.
The real issue is anti-cheat. But that's just the next hurdle we'll have to overcome.
Edit: TIL that the expression "to do under" has no place in English.
Apologies. Allow me to clarify.
I meant that it's not harder than Windows, when it comes to playing games. And I even made that claim stronger by proclaiming that it's probably even easier.
Edit: SteamOS is the operating system found on the Steam Deck. It's basically Arch Linux (btw), but with Valve's (very) special sauce. It's what you'd expect from your average game console; which is a good thing*.
Can you run league on Linux? I can't run it on my windows anymore cause if some security thing lol
We were able to, up until Riot chose to mess it up for everyone (including us).
Another alternative for your expression might be 'to do less' as i steamos doesn't do less than windows. Or 'do worse than'. I would say even 'steamos doesnt under-do windows in terms of gaming' would work but it sounds more awkward. Mind if i ask what language the expression 'do under' is from? Its neat, i like it. English sucks in a lot of ways. Also agree with everything you said about OSes. I had tried linux in the past but mostly stuck to windows for gaming, then i got a steam deck and ill never install windows ever again.
I think I like this one as well. Basically, as you'll see later on, the expression is (probably) best translated as 'to be inferior'. Combined with the negation that's brought with "don't", we could rephrase the sentence as 'Honestly, in terms of ease to play, SteamOS (or clones like Bazzite) aren't inferior to Windows.'.
Another one that I like 😜. But, the double 'do' is indeed a bit awkward.
Sure! It's an expression found in Dutch. Heck, to be more precise, it's a verb that can be split: 'onderdoen', but also 'doen onder'. The literal translation would be, as you'd expect 'underdo' or 'do under'. Here's the (English) wiktionary entry.
Valve has truly outdone itself. While I only started using Linux after Proton's release, the horror stories from the pre-Proton era still send shivers down my spine.
