Shouldn't be. It's a PC.

Just select PC or Linux since its a PC running steam games via Proton

The frame rate sometimes drops in scenes where the CPU is needed first and not the graphics processor. For example, crowds of zombies in Days Gone are able to drop the frame rate below 30 fps. In general, I am satisfied with this device, so I purchased a special SD card for more memory.

True, it's a "pocket PC" running on a modified arch distribution called Steam OS 3. If you feel the need to distinguish speedruns you can use the platform "Linux" instead of "PC" -> which is intended to mean Windows I guess.
