Comparing gaming performance on the Legion Go S handheld running Windows or Linux shows Linux is the true winner. Steam developed their Steam OS for their handhelds, creating a compatibility layer so a ton of Windows games can run [semi] natively on Linux. The 2 biggest hurtles are Windows kernel-based anti cheat, and on PCs/laptops, you'll likely find more & better Windows support when it comes to graphics card/GPU drivers. While the Steam OS is a version of Linux tailored for their handhelds, you can download & install it, &/or that compatibility layer can be added to other Linux distros, or you can install a Linux distro with it already built in.
