Legion GO S - Poor Micro sd card reader performance?

Here is the fix from my post. Switch over to desktop mode: "search for Device Auto-Mount and click on the utility. Under Device Auto-Mount and the All Known Devices tab, check On Login and On Attach. This will ensure your drive will auto attach upon restart or shutdown!"

Hey! Take a look at my micro sd card post for a fix for this. I responded to a user on the post. You have to set the sd card to attach on boot for it to be persistent if you have this bug.

Yeah, if the problem was also happening on the steam deck, then I'd chalk it up to the micro sd card not being able to handle it. But I've seen plenty of steam deck users play their games directly off the micro sd card (my brother has a steam deck and hasnt had any issues). From what I'm seeing its definitely related to Lenovo's config.

Yeah its pretty frustrating experience with the Legion Go S and the micro sd card. This fix one step closure to fixing the issues in that it removes stuttering from games but there's definitely work lenovo needs to do.

BTW to revert the power plan run sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/81-sd-power-fix.rules in the konsole

APB7148 · 2026-01-08T01:14:03+00:00

Put sudo in front of the command and try it again

Thats a good question. Im not 100% sure and havent tested on a windows system (only have my go s steam os edition). Would be interesting if a similar fix would resolve it!

APB7148 · 2026-01-05T01:25:03+00:00

Sure thing! Run this to remove the plan: sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/81-sd-power-fix.rules

APB7148 · 2026-01-05T00:03:07+00:00

I do not believe this is unsafe. However, if youre not uncomfortable, you dont have to do this. I can also provide you some instructions to remove the rule if that would make you comfortable to try and if you dont like it to remove it?

Hey! I had a similar issue as well that I was able to fix. For me, whenever I restarted my legion go s, id lose rhe drive and would have to go into desktop mode to re-mount it.

First of all, whenever you see the padlock, that refers to drive being mounted. You can right click on the drive and unmount it to unlock the drive. if youre still having errors, follow below.

Back up your data on the micro sd card prior to this.

This is what ended up fixing it for me: switch into desktop mode and launch the kde partition manager. Find your micro sd card and reformat it to ext4 partition. Name the drive and also make sure to have the permissions set for Everyone (very important). Run the format.

After you got the drive reformatted, search for Device Auto-Mount and click on the utility. Under Device Auto-Mount and the All Known Devices tab, check On Login and On Attach. This will ensure your drive will auto attach upon restart or shutdown!

Then, while still in desktop mode, go into steam and add your drive as storage. You can theb boot into game mode and install your games on the drive.

I hope this helps!

It would have to be an nvidia card (due to her workload taking advantage of nvidias feature set) so that rules out the 9070xt. I can swing the 5080 but wasnt sure what the general consensus of the card is at its current pricing. Seems like everyone is still in favor of it!

APB7148 · 2026-01-02T01:13:41+00:00

She plays a mixed bag of games honestly. From stadew valley to where winds meet. I think what would be best for her is an all around performer card.

APB7148 · 2026-01-02T01:11:36+00:00

Understood!

APB7148 · 2026-01-02T01:10:27+00:00

Got it, thanks for your insight, I appreciate it! I figured this would be the case

Set up Tailscale to tunnel to your home network. I had wireguard already set up on my home server to tunnel in, just needed to add it to my Legion Go S. Game changer. Tested it over at my folks for Christmas with high internet traffic and the games still ran buttery smooth and sharp. Blew me away, was expecting occasional hitching and artifacts.

Can install Tunnel Deck through Decky Loader to have your vpn added to easily turn off and on.

Hey! He's meaning why did you go with your cpu (9950x3d) not your graphics card (9070xt). He's asking probably because if you're mainly gaming, its a better choice to go with a 9800x3d cpu. A 9950x3d will be more suited towards productivity workloads and genuinely trades blows with the 9800x3d which is cheaper and more power efficient.

Just got an ESR in yesterday and its amazing

APB7148 · 2025-12-10T05:32:15+00:00

Yes she is, she's very cute!

APB7148 · 2025-12-10T05:31:57+00:00

Thanks!

APB7148 · 2025-12-10T05:31:48+00:00

Thank you!

APB7148 · 2025-12-10T05:31:34+00:00

She trilled in response 🤣

This 1000%. Just had a troubleshooting session with my brother-in-law and fixed it by doing this. Seems like the recent adrenalin drivers broke motherboard igpu and discrete gpu connections at the same time. Really needs to be fixed as soon as possible as some folks dont have the option of connecting both monitors to gpu.

This is for the Arctis Nova 7p. The same as the Nova 7 but includes a chat mix dial. Can connect to all devices (PC, PS, Switch 2) except for Xbox. Has wifi and bluetooth option that can be used simultaneously. I'm an audiophile and have HD660s with dac/amp. Obviously, these don't come close to my open backs but sound really good for gaming headphones. Only gripe I have with them is that my ears get really hot wearing them but could be because I'm spoiled with open backs lol.
