    People have proven that the Steam Deck is pretty much just a daily desktop driver. People do all kinds of things on it. It also seems like its performance downgrade is insignificant.

      And I’m not one of those people so I’d like the option to not take the performance hit. Based on benchmarks I’ve seen it’s definitely not going to be insignificant, but it’s hard to say what the effect on games will be. See eg https://openbenchmarking.org/result/2308071-NE-2308068NE86, where math operations can be seen to take about 10% hits and some tasks go way above that. Not terrible but it’s not going to be nothing either, which is why I’d like to be able to opt out
