None of these features are usable in SteamVR, or if they are, aren’t supported by any games, like HDR.

PinePower is another good option that’s not very expensive. 65W with 2 C ports and 1 A port for $25.
Try Sidebery instead.
Most games have a day one patch, but the game on the disc is usually playable without it.
I wish people would stop parroting this. For the vast, vast majority of games it isn’t true.
It’s happened to several games in the past that couldn’t prevent people from cheating.
And those games are…? There are plenty of games that have allowed anticheat to work on Linux and haven’t imploded, but I don’t know of a single one that has. Care to encourage enlighten me?
The kind of game-specific fixes that get added to GPU drivers on Windows are typically added to Proton, not the Linux GPU drivers. Waiting a week for the Nvidia driver so you can be sure it won’t break your system is only a plus in this instance.
The suggestion here is that the type of game that can thrive on a subscription service is either a small one that benefits from better curation and visibility or a live-service one that can make up revenue on the backend by charging all the new players microtransactions (the new store shelves are inside the games themselves).
I’ve been saying this since Game Pass launched: it encourages scummy monetization. The kind of games that come to it are going to have more and more content locked away behind microtransactions to make up the money lost by not selling copies. It’s going to gradually become full of “free” to play garbage, and people will accept it because they didn’t pay for an individual game outright.
I wish he would have tested with a distro that at least has a custom scheduler instead of a bloated vanilla Ubuntu install.
Try putting a laptop running Windows to sleep for a week and see if it has any battery left.
