Two amazing deals - which one do I keep?
lenovo software support doesn't really matter on the linux side though, youll get gpu drivers through mesa and valve probably won't drop steamos support for the legion go s anytime soon, and if they do the community will surely take over like they did with Bazzite

Anyone came back to SD OLED after other more powerful handhelds?
Haven’t gone back yet BUT! Had a Steam Deck LCD. Gave it to a family member because I got a Legion Go for a very low price. Loved the screen. Did not love the ergonomics. Installed SteamOS on it as soon as the Legion Go S came out and Steam supported it officially. Ergonomics continued to irk me. Th

Two amazing deals - which one do I keep?
That rumor actually got walked back. Lenovo US officially confirmed to PCWorld that they're supporting the original Legion Go with driver and BIOS updates through October 2029, and said the Korean support message that started the panic was miscommunicated or mistranslated. The real knock is that the

What are your thoughts about this.
The thing is that for people using Linux in general for gaming could end up getting better performance even though they would have an 8GB GPU which if you were to remember the Steam Machine would have 8GB only for the video memory so then games could possibly run a lot smoother and also the fact for

Which handheld would be best value?
I personally would go with the Legion Go S. The extra ram should give it longer relevancy, big screen, official SteamOS support.

I refuse to accept this as my fate working in Windows
Gonna drop the cliche "I'm on linux" post. I dual boot and, without fail, get better performance on my Ubuntu boot compared to my windows boot. It's not a mac vs windows issue, its a "windows is criminally bloated" issue. Hell the Legion Go S that just came out is good proof of that. They have 2 dif

How much more of a performance boost do you get if you install SteamOs on your Legion Go 2 ? I want to switch from Windows but I’m not to computer savvy so not sure if it’s even worth it
It's not just the performance increase, but the qol that makes a big difference. Especially if you're not computer savvy. I am computer savvy and went for a Legion Go S with SteamOS because I didn't want to deal with the Windows headaches, I just want to play games on something that works. SteamOS i

Just got this beauty will see if it stays
Idk why people hate on this device so much but still glaze the steamdeck, They both have an identical chip, as long as you paid a similar price to the steamdeck, I think it’s a great device. At the MSRP it was a bad product, but I’ve seen it like 30% off recently (same price as the steamdeck) I’d sa

To those with both of these, which one do you prefer, personally?
I'm actually in a similar situation rn. I scored a good deal on the XAX, but I miss Steam OS and the 16:10 screen ratio of my Deck. The XAX screen looks small even against my SD LCD. I have to squint often to see stuff clearly on screen. I know I could install Bazzite on it but it wouldn't fix the h
