SteamOS massively beats Windows on the Legion Go S

Discussing battery life:
In less demanding titles like Dead Cells the difference is absolutely insane jumping from 2 hours 47 minutes on Windows to 7 hours 8 minutes on SteamOS.
Considering how indie friendly the deck is, this is a huge loss for MS. All other things equal that difference would easily make me drop windows.
- How big is the battery on the legion go? The deck's battery drains so quickly I wouldn't be surprised if it couldn't last 7 hours even in the home screen.
  
  I've gotten over 12 hours playing Stardew Valley on my Deck with the wattage down to 2W, something wrong with yours? lol
  
  According to a PC Gamer article, it has a 55.5 Wh battery. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/handheld-gaming-pcs/lenovo-legion-go-s-windows-review/ (This one is for the Windows version but the SteamOS version has (or may have) similar hardware.)
