Right, "more powerful" or "less powerful" are completely meaningless without context. E.g.: hollow knight has some serious bugs on the controller input (for some popular controllers like 8bit do ones) on the Linux version due to some outdated version of a library they use on some input modes. Silksong doesn't even register the inputs for that same setup. Both work perfectly on proton with the she hardware. Drivers and software play a more important role in playability than raw specs and benchmarks.
