Yeah I mean, I don't know why they wouldn't after the Go S? I guess if it wasn't a success but these are the closest you're getting to a Steam Deck 2 for a while it seems so I don't know why folks wouldn't jump on it.
ok but even if it didn't who can stop anyone from installing steamos or if not supported by valve directly, more likely bazzite which already runs on basically anything with a cpu and something approximately similar to a somewhat modern gpu
Not sure what you want to talk about. The Legion Go has detachable "joycons", and one of them serves as basically a pistol grip mouse with an optical sensor on the bottom. Those "side buttons" become "front buttons" in this mode.

Is this news? They already said they were working on this with Valve awhile ago, and they've had images and guides on how to do this in their support KB for quite awhile now: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht517492-how-to-install-steamos

I think you may be thinking of Legion Go S. This is Legion Go 2. As far as I'm aware, the fact that it even exists is new.

I mean...what you're seeing is simply Big Picture Mode. That's not any indication that it's running SteamOS 🤦

Fancy seeing you here Ultich haha
Is the interface actually exactly the same on SteamOS and Big Picture?
Ulrich@feddit.org · 1 pts · 357d
No. The interface on SteamOS is Big Picture Mode. That's what it was made for.
With the exception of what someone else pointed out about the check marks.

Um ackchually Steam OS's main user interface is Game mode. Big Picture mode is different, but is slowly being modified to be similar
Ulrich@feddit.org · 0 pts · 357d
I don't think it is. Certainly is not visually different. "Game Mode" incorporates the Gamescope compositor.

Can we talk about those side buttons?

Ah, I forgot about that. Makes sense now, and thanks for explaining 👍
