tl;dr: windows is worse in each of their measures

I'd long been mulling over what distro to switch my family computer to soon. But after years with Steam Deck and digging through so many suggestions for months, I really think I'm just going with SteamOS. Good enough.

Lenovo likely doesnt want to blatently get on Microsofts bad side. Basically skirting business to business relationships.

for example if down the line the xbox full screen mode is decent, you probably dont want to be glazing your opposition.

Can we get the ROG Ally certified for Steam OS now? The wife has been chomping at the bit but won't change until the bugs have been worked out and valve considers it certified for Steam OS

This is just my opinion, but if a game doesn’t work on Linux/SteamOS then it was never worth playing to begin with.

I refuse to buy a handheld that is not SteamOS. Like Nintendo, they can basically just brick your device, and online functionality requires a monthly subscription.

Also, we know Microsoft will eventually do something to mess this all up.

With SteamOS, we can fork and change it and have access to our entire Steam libraries. I have had Steam my whole life and only played PC. Why would I even bother with anything else?

Both versions of the Legion Go S use a similar AMD processor

Identical hardware

Am I taking fucking crazy pills? Did the word "similar" get redefined recently? These are like 2 sentences apart.

Meanwhile in my region, I can only hear people complain about SteamOS, and are eager to install winblows. Maybe I am living among corporate whores, smh

Isn’t that because the SteamOS version is cheaper, so you could just install Windows on it yourself (if you hate battery life and game performance?)
