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

Which would you pick and why?

I would recommend a Legion Go S Z1E 32GB if you can find one for a good price.

Bestbuy is tripping

The GoPocalypse is officially upon us. As someone who owns both a Legion Go S and a Legion Go 2 I’m really not sure how to feel about all this. On the one hand it feels like I invested in a stock that went up, on the other hand I’m more than a little concerned about what it might mean in general.

I'm returning my Legion Go S after buying a Legion Go gen 1 and putting Steam OS onto it

It's amazing how different people can be. I find the Go S to be one of the most comfortable handhelds out there. If they just slapped an OLED with VRR into a Go S and left everything else exactly the same I'd be super happy and wouldn't have bought a Legion Go 2.

Behold My Flex

Feel like the real flex at this point was the Legion Go S Black Friday deal

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

As a person who has both, yep, legion go s is defo better choice. Steam deck is great, but bigger screen and more power - better fps/graphics and less eye strain for longer game sessions

Made a pitstop after a work pickup to bless a new game.

Thats on a Legion Go S Z1E 32GB ram model. it runs insanely well on that, can do 120hz and keeps steady around like 80fps. Can probably squeeze out more fps if I drop the graphics down but it ran so well on the default settings I just left it lol

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
