MODERATORS
This is a static target for game devs, like the Steam Deck. There is an incentive (from Valve) to make proper presets for the SM specifically.
A random Chinese miniPC doesn’t have that. An enthusiast can install Bazzite on it and knows how to optimise the settings for max FPS.
Joe regular can’t or doesn’t want to.
