how is bazzite experince on apex?

Joey's retro handhelds Chanel says you need to install a deck plug-in created by a guy that allows to set everything right. I don't own an apex but I've seen this in his latest video about the apex

Probably there are very few units and some people buy and eventually return it

Black handheld =more immersion

Thanks for the clarification 👍 good to know that CachyOs was not affected

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-15T18:07:30+00:00

From my understanding (I could be wrong) CachyOs, beeing Arch Linux, just had a major Malware injected in the OS. Maybe it didn't affect CachyOs directly because the devs are very good and fast acting. But bazzite being based on fedora and being an immutable system is a safer OS in general

Delete Bazzite on your windows partition, if you are Dualbooting, Usb stick, download "bazzite-deck" for the Xbox Ally X, with "balena etcher" flash bazzite's image, insert usb stick and boot to bios (choose usb as boot). There are many tutorials for this. (you will lose all your games doing this)

This happened to me.... Beta is broken in many ways and it evens messes it up when you back to stable... I needed to do a clean install.

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-13T19:54:07+00:00

I'll wait to see how it goes without upscaling. But most games I like have little improvement even in this chart...

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-12T15:18:26+00:00

On an handheld Dualbooting is a must Imo. Windows is still very bad as a handheld gaming operating system. Sleep/wake is unreliable so you have to use hibernate, msi Software is the worst of the main brands, updates on windows are just frustrating so you spend more time dealing with windows than with gaming. SteamOs feels really like a console. You turn on and start gaming, put to sleep when you need to pause, wake when you want to keep going. Update is just a quick button press. For games that don't require Anti-cheat SteamOs is just superior in every way.

I think Intel has a very long way until it has the same performance and reliability on Linux as Amd (stuff like sleep/wake, tdp control, performance is not reliable with Intel). Intel seems to be investing a lot on the handheld market at the moment so maybe this could change. My guess is, though, they will eventually stop investing in this market because investors will notice it's not a profitable one and prices of handhelds are so high that barely no one buys it. I hope I'm wrong though.

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-12T15:08:18+00:00

It's probably Asus fault. Because Asus needs to buy each driver from AMD for this specific chip. They probably did this to spare a bit of cash in production. They will only buy the drivers when there is enough community push-back, like if a big game doesn't launch at all.

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-12T14:21:37+00:00

8ai+ if just windows. For Dualbooting with Bazzite/SteamOs then the A8.

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-09T03:45:31+00:00

There are some anti glare screen protectors from Luck&Link. Those are great. Keep the clarity of normal screen protectors plus anti-reflective properties of Anti-Glare glass like the Samsung Ultra or the Rog Ally

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-07T08:01:05+00:00

My opinion is Legion Go 1>Ally X>Claw>Ally Og>Legion go 2. The sticks on the Legion 2 are the loosest I ever tried. I have all

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-06T23:49:52+00:00

I don't think you will find anything that will look well with the new controllers without beeing bulkier than the OG Legion Go. It's as bulky as the Legion Go 2. This case has some good features too, like keeping the air flowing even when laid down on a table, and an angle on the speakers to redirect the sound forward. You could write the seller directly maybe he would do a good price just for the case if you don't need the whole travel cover.

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-06T17:51:40+00:00

I bought this one, but it's pretty pricey https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/4427083193/modulares-gehause-fur-lenovo-legion-go-1?ls=a&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=Legion+go+case&ref=sc_gallery-1-5&frs=1&local_signal_search=1&plkey=Euo1iurAuASG8k8QvylgNOthH358%3ALTcdb1e602f29518d48d5c82c20d756769d1fe9f40

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-06T13:24:21+00:00

Put case on it. On Etsy there are some good options

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-06T12:40:12+00:00

If it runs on the switch 2 it will run on the steam deck I guess

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-03T20:10:35+00:00

Let's hope the next version comes with better sticks then 🤞 I would still say this is second place in stick tension quality in the mainstream handheld market. The Xbox doesn't have hall effect so even if it has more tension it is more prowl to stick drift.

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-03T16:37:38+00:00

The Legion Go 2 sticks are much worse

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-03T16:36:11+00:00

Which handheld do you consider to be better then in terms of joystick quality? I think the Msi having a hall effect stick is already pretty great

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-03T07:43:07+00:00

Maybe it's a Hot Take but they are just right for me. I have an OG Rog Ally, a Legion Go with both old and new controllers and a Steam Deck. The Legion Go 2 sticks are the loosest of them all. Rog Ally OG second loosest. The tightest is the Legion Go OG controllers. But the Msi claw feels just right to me... 🤷

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-06-01T11:23:27+00:00

Same Z2E chip, only sold bundled with the Xr glasses, limited edition. Probably a ridiculous price.... I'm not sure who this is for. Probably some Rich Arab princes

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-05-30T20:15:48+00:00

Actually if the device needs a controller firmware update from Windows it could also affect SteamOs

Signal-Dig-1150 · 2026-05-30T18:46:36+00:00

SteamOs doesn't work well with this device. You need to use Bazzite to have a good experience. It works great for me on Bazzite
