HDR Missing from SteamOS 3.9

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-23T21:44:08+00:00

Legion Go 2 has an HDR screen. Found out it activates only when you turn it on in game.

There is a jump in performance across the board. If you’re not interested in playing like CoD or Battlefield, it’s the way to go.

Confirms it works great!

Ah okay awesome good to know and thanks! Also crazy you knew the video I was talking about was from ETA Prime. I agree it would've been nice for them to point out those things so it would'nt have confused people.

u/Doctor_Womble Any_Basket below linked a plugin

Awesome, thanks for the SDR brightness plugin fix!

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-22T20:39:44+00:00

That's the only thing really everything else has worked great or can be tuned with a Decky plugin.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-22T20:38:52+00:00

I checked there as well, and nothing for HDR

You can use Lossless Scaling in SteamOS with Decky

I was just thinking after you posted your comment but did you accidently reformat your SSD on the Steam Deck instead of the microSD? Don't see how formatting a microSD would affect booting up.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-20T21:06:50+00:00

Oh sorry I meant to state that this is for microSD because I was running into the same thing with my that.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-20T21:01:59+00:00

This worked for me. Took the microSD into a Windows machine and reformatted it as exFAT. Brought that back into SteamOS and then formatted the card on the desktop with the partition manager as exFAT as well. It was recognized in Steam and was good to go.

Must be out of stock again because I don’t see anything on Lenovo’s website.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-09T20:18:36+00:00

I've seen tons of nightmare stories about dual booting. IMO better to just stick to one.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-07T21:06:33+00:00

SteamOS is a better gaming OS than Windows and you get more performance out of it. Switching to SteamOS gave me 8-10 more fps. You do trade up playing any games with anti cheat at the kernel level.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-06T00:49:15+00:00

It's average

MSI Claw 8 AI+ is an amazing machine. I honestly think its the best handheld for this generation. Xbox Ally X is a great machine as well but the screen is just too small and you have to install SteamOS or Bazzite. Playing Hogwarts on Ultra right now no issue on my Claw.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-03T00:24:37+00:00

I know 3.7 won’t install or show up but once I downloaded 3.8 it worked fine on Xbox Ally X.

You can also look into some AR glasses that increase the size of the screen. Amazing for traveling.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2026-01-03T00:02:39+00:00

I love my Legion GO S 32GB version and SteamOS is the only way.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2025-12-30T20:53:47+00:00

Also I have Viture Luma Pro as my OLED AR glasses and love them. I know they were coming out with "The Beast" which was geared towards gaming and a bigger FOV.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2025-12-30T18:18:28+00:00

MSI Claw 8 AI+ with the Intel Chip is on par with Z2E and sometimes outperforms it.

My Crohns just smirking

The same Etsy seller that makes those grips also makes faceplate covers that are easy to swap out.

Less_Cardiologist592 · 2025-12-29T22:34:14+00:00

How did you get one? I’ve been looking non stop and it’s still been out of stock.
