This is such a click-bait title, my God...
According to the article the only significant FPS gains are in the Performance mode. In Silent mode Bazzite has two FPS more in KCD2, and... one less in Hogwarts.
In Turbo mode, the difference is 5 FPS.
And even in Performance it's not like you're running at 13 FPS by default - it's 47 in KCD2 and 50 in HL.
They even provide a nice summary themselves - on average, Bazzite gains 6.6 FPS.
What do you get in return?
Not stability:

And you lose A TONNE of optional game stores, including the entirety of GamePass games.
I would get it if the difference was "20 FPS on Windows" and 50 on Bazzite", but come on...
it's weird, and refreshing, to find someone who actually reads the article and don't base his comments only on the header, and also provides some additional info.
my opinion isn't based strictly on the header. because to argue that the default is silent mode, when its very reasonable to assume that the middle tier performance mode is the default usecase, because it has a 80W/h battery when compared to typical other handhelds. Steam deck for example uses a 40W/h battery. 17W, which is seeing the chunk of the performance gain, is a very reasonable target for a 80W/h battery. Because it would roughly be equivalent to a steam deck at 10W on its 40W/h battery.
Oop, you didn't bash my "not really anti-Microsoft stance", prepare for downvotes, friend! :)
