It’s the new valve hardware pc console like computer

both cpu/gpu made 2022 and very capable

on top of this juicy hardware highly optimized kernel
ofc not the mainstream linux kernel but
Steamos kernel
scheduling - tiny no bloat - only amd code
The kernel and graphics stack are fine-tuned to work with Gamescope
stability - and some amd code merges hasn’t made to the mainstream yet
steamos kernel is faster because they removed what unnecessary
