You can check battery health in desktop mode, by clicking on the battery.
I've had my OLED deck for a little over a year now, and it's still reporting 100% battery health.

I think I read somewhere that Factorio is more efficient running under Linux/Mac because it takes advantage of some quirk in the Unix forking mechanism that Windows can't use? I don't know if this means it would burn through battery even faster if the SD ran Windows, but it wouldn't surprise me…
Uh, that’s used to keep the game from pausing when it autosaves, like it does on Windows. I don’t think they use it any other time.
Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't remember the exact details.
