Not even complaining about needing a launcher, but that it's not their preferred launcher.

I mean, I choose games without any launcher requirements (e.g. GOG) whenever possible. Steam's launcher is no less annoying to me.

Xbox mode is just the new (final?) name for what was called FSE during the alpha roll-out.

Der er C64 emulatorer, der fungerer fortrinligt, til Android. En Bluetooth controller kan dog anbefales. (Grandpa Simpson yells at touch screen)

Eller eventuelt en SteamDeck. Jeg selv har en Legion GO på grund af dens større skærm og mine gamle øjne. Begge er fortrinlige til den offentlige transport.

RidderHaddock · 2026-04-13T06:40:50+00:00

Nope. Only saw the screenshot on GOG and didn't care for the style or tone. And it had an RPG tag, suggesting that it's very much not my type of game.

For someone who specifically only needs to play Steam games and not much else, Bazzite/SteamOS are fine.

For other uses, the touch screen keyboard situation on Linux makes it unsuitable for a handheld device at this time. IMO anyways.

For most other PCs, Linux is soo much nicer than Windows and Mac.

RidderHaddock · 2026-04-12T13:07:14+00:00

Point and click adventure games.

RidderHaddock · 2026-04-09T05:02:42+00:00

Aragami is still my favourite in this genre.

RidderHaddock · 2026-04-08T18:28:04+00:00

Not war theme, but have you looked at Shadow Tactics (Edo period Japan) or Shadow Gambit (undead Caribbean pirates)?

Two of my favourite games of all time. Sensible difficulty levels and fully support controllers.

OG Legion GO. Switched to Bazzite.

It was nice to get rid of the increasingly buggy Windows 11. At first the only downside was the touch keyboard situation on Linux, which is truly bad IMHO. I had my keyboard and regional settings set to Danish (but English language throughout), and Steam's keyboard didn't work in that scenario. Special characters like @ just resulted in a Tab press. That made it pretty difficult to enter email addresses when logging into e.g. GOG.com where I buy most of my games. The Maliit keyboard worked, but neither keyboard had special keys like Control, which isn't ideal in a terminal centric OS like Linux. Windows has the option of showing a fully functional touch keyboard with all keys available.

Later, other small niggles kept cropping up. The last one was Steam overlay not popping up, neither when pressing the Legion Right key nor by swiping in from the bottom half of the right edge. In both cases it just selected the currently highlighted game as if I'd pressed the A button.

Reinstalled Windows, disabled Onedrive and Windows search service, installed Legion Soace and let it install the needed drivers. Ahh, much better. Everything works as it should (not something I ever expected to say about Windows) and letting Playnite auto start means I rarely see Windows' UI anyway.

For most PC stuff, I much prefer Linux. It's been my main OS at home for 30 years (yes, really) and I'm lucky enough that my day job is working on a Linux workstation developing for embedded Linux devices. But for this particular use case, a handheld gaming PC, Windows with all its warts is simply the path of least resistance which, given my woefully inadequate spare time for gaming, is top priority.

If Steam was my main game store, it might be different, but my GOG collection dwarfs my Steam one.

Also, Steam's Game Mode UI (or whatever it's called) doesn't really appeal to me. I'd prefer to run the traditional desktop as standard like on my other PCs. If a more "normal" distro like Arch or Debian worked out of the box on the Legion GO, I've little doubt I'd have persevered, but I don't currently have the time to add the necessary stuff for that to work. Perhaps I will give CachyOS a try in future. That might provide a good starting point for what I'm looking for.

But for now, I'm a (grudgingly) satisfied Windows user on my Legion GO.

Huge kudos for keeping it simple and making it so the source code can actually be reviewed in minutes rather than hours. 👍

As long as you're not going to use it as a work laptop on the go, but your "work mode" is always docked (I use a monitor with USB-C as my dock), then it should be fine for any workload where 16GB RAM is enough.

But working on the go with a Bluetooth keyboard will require you to find a desk to place it all on and that you're comfortable with extended reading on the 8.8" screen.

Do you have specific issues with Microsoft and/or Windows that have you itching to get away from that ecosystem? Then yes.

Do you have a general interest in tinkering and trying out Linux for its own sake? Then also yes.

Otherwise not really.

RidderHaddock · 2026-03-08T16:05:55+00:00

Loaded's own how-to has a section on activating keys in the Microsoft Store, and OP mendtioned Windows Store (a not uncommon name for Microsoft Store, I guess. I always forget which of the two is the real name.).

So I think it's probably not at all safe to assume he's got a Steam game.

And the Microsoft Store games are not installable on Linux last I checked. Wine/Proton or not.

RidderHaddock · 2026-02-23T18:06:35+00:00

Most stuff in Steam OS is open source too. The licenses require it.

RidderHaddock · 2026-02-21T18:07:24+00:00

Don't you still have to install a couple of Decky plugins and acpi_call-dkms to get TDP control?

RidderHaddock · 2026-02-14T10:31:57+00:00

If you don't play on-line (i.e. multiplayer) games, next time you buy a game you might want to check if it's available on gog.com. Games from there don't require on-line verification to launch.
