I didn't know you could beat windows, I thought it was a weird open world game.

[-] r00ty@kbin.life 61 points 2 weeks ago

Windows is a strange game. It seems the only winning move is not to play.

Much like another game, that we just lost.

At some point in the future I'll come find you and remind you of what you took from me.

The evil of Microsoft is too great to resist. The only way to win is to deny it battle. And something about candles and cooking.

Dave’s got a lot of mileage out of that video. Famous overnight essentially! Seeing this type of article everywhere

Gasoline massively beats molasses in cars.

This quick video from The Phawx seems to show that the battery performance difference isn't actually inherent to Windows, but rather that the GPU drivers don't throttle down the TDP when they should.

Windows has plenty of other issues but it seems any frustration about this specifically should be pointed at AMD.

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Amd makes the drivers for both Linux and Windows brotha.... So Microsoft wasn't able to fix something the open source community in collab with amd could?...

[-] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know the business negotiations of all that. But if you watch the video, Phawx basically uses one single command to lower the wattage on his Windows handheld and instantly triple the expected battery life. The underlying OS clearly supports it. Seems to me like the AMD driver just isn't detecting that the game has light power needs and so isn't throttling like it should.

[-] Ptsf@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

As someone who does understand the business negotiations and software implementations, you have some of the issue correctly diagnosed but you're placing the responsibility on the wrong person lol.

Can we install this on PC yet? Sick of windows and all I do in my desktop is gaming via steam

[-] okamiueru@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

You.... can just install the steam client on just about any Linux distro?
