My original Deck would get around 75Mbps in Steam on SteamOS. Windows 11 on my Deck will download around 650Mbps. My OLED Deck, in SteamOS is getting 200-300Mbps. I did try Bazzite on the Deck, it managed 350Mbps. I’m sure the old Deck is not supposed to download faster than the OLED. Further comparison, I have EndeavorOS on my laptop, it gets around 200-300Mbps, but Windows 11 managed a whopping 948Mbps. Am I missing something crucial to Linux network speeds?
I’ve got a USB-C to with gigabit Ethernet, but I’m having vastly different speeds from Wi-Fi. The OLED deck is faster than the OG in SteamOS for sure. With Windows 11 on the OG Deck, it’s faster than the OLED. Is this possibly a operating system question, and not for Steam Deck?
Sounds feasible. Maybe the Windows drivers are better optimized in some way (utilizes more channels at once or something?).
I wonder if anyone on the Windows section has experienced different speeds. Thank you all for your replies.
