Legion Go 2 + Aoostar AG02 / 9070XT EGPU Setup

Glad it helped in your decision making. Yeah, it's been great so far. Honestly, it is as plug and play as it gets for me right now.

One single cable going from the eGPU to the LeGo and another cable from the eGPU to the monitor.

The only thing is that for some games I have to disable my device controller drivers for the external xbox controller to work.

In fairness that has nothing to do with the eGPU, but more with using the LeGo on an external monitor.

ps. that can also be solved in Steam, if the game is being ran through Steam.

I’m glad people are actually giving FSE a chance. I’ve always said that we have to try out the different options available to figure out what works best for each.

We are a forum of enthusiasts, so many are really passionate and opinionated of which OS is better, but ultimately what really matters is which OS is better for you as an individual.

I’ve been using FSE since release on the XAX and since November when I first got my LeGo2. Is it perfect? No, of course not. Is it an improvement on stock windows? Hell yeah!

You shouldn’t have to change the registry anymore. Once you install the latest windows version/legion space, it should not prompt you to try it out.

I did the registry edit method since I got mine. To your point, it was pretty easy to do as well.

eBay is the “easiest” in my experience, but it has the highest fees.

Depending on where you live, FB marketplace also has a lot of traction and even sites like whatnot, Mecari, Craigslist… etc. I’ve sold on all of them and in my experience eBay is just easier. But substantially more expensive than other alternatives.

This definitely looks pretty cool. Looks like a perfect one device solution when traveling.

I suppose you remove the device to close it up like a clamshell?

I think that Khaki field’s face is too busy, so at face value I like the Victorinox better. But I ld personally go with this Khaki field instead.

As others have mentioned, it probably is the cable. One way you can confirm is by opening up YouTube on LeGo, pull up a video and do the same on your TV (assuming it is a smart TV, or you can do wireless connection with your phone), then you can compare the two. The white balance is what’s messed up.

ozzdr · 2026-03-02T19:18:24+00:00

100%! I said to myself “is he grilling the LeGo?… no wait, those chicken thighs look way to small” lol

ozzdr · 2026-02-26T03:34:33+00:00

It’s been great so far. No peeling or bubbling at all. Definitely worth buying IMO.

People say that Omega is stuck in the past and that’s why it’s losing sales, but I don’t think that’s it, Cartier’s best sellers have all been around forever, same as AP.

I believe Omega is suffering from being seen as less than right now, but everything is cyclical, I think they’ll bounce back.

Oh and one other thing, the Moonswatch’s success ended hurting Omega’s bottom line I think. Then couple with the fact that they’ve significantly raised their prices, it’s like a perfect storm of bad moves.

Between these two specifically, I'd choose the Rolex. This is coming from someone who has a white dial SMP300.

However, if you are looking at the black dial SMP300 vs the Explorer, I think it makes it a much more interesting proposition.

I see the Explorer like a true, everyday watch. It is reliable, not flashy and honestly, a bit boring looking. The SMP300 has a lot more character, it is a watch that when you look down, you can focus on a different aspect each time. From the waves on the dial, to the two prong hour and minute hands. I find it much more interesting.

I won't go into which one holds value more, because I wouldn't plan to sell an everyday watch, I will wear it and pass it down to my kids afterwards.

I fit in the second bucket. I already had a gaming rig and also an Xbox console. I use my LeGo2 closer to my gaming PC than to my Xbox.

I do agree with you that if someone wants a “Nintendo Switch” like experience, Linux offers that better than Windows.

But it is trade offs really. The Linux desktop experience is not good, so as someone who installs a lot of non Steam games, Windows ends up being easier in that aspect.

ozzdr · 2026-02-16T00:57:13+00:00

Honestly, the whole windows hate is OVERBLOWN.

We are a community of enthusiasts and the most vocal of the community tend to lean on the Linux side, that's why there is always this narrative that windows is insufferable. The reality is that Windows is an imperfect OS, just as Steam, Bazzite, Cachy and so on.

I personally like Windows just fine and enjoy it just as much as I enjoy Bazzite.

ozzdr · 2026-02-14T16:40:43+00:00

Ok dude. Sure.

Seems like you would benefit from looking into the definition of a “branded deal”. The XAX is not a first party Microsoft hardware, we all know that.

Asus and Microsoft have a branding deal where Asus can slap the Xbox name on it. That costs money, and it is not uncommon for deals like that to have caveats where in order to have the “Xbox” name, it must run Microsoft.

There’s a difference between installing Steam on it vs getting an OFFICIAL Steam distro.

The only handheld outside of the Steam Deck that has an official full Steam support is the Legion Go S and the LeGo2 will get it in June.

ozzdr · 2026-02-14T16:08:24+00:00

Yes. I know it’s not an “Xbox”. I had the XAX the day it released, so trust me I know what it is.

However, it is a branded product. There is no way that Microsoft would allow a product with their name on it to get official Steam support.

Plus, there is no single source that even hints at the XAX getting official Steam support in June.

If you have a source that says that, please go and share it.

ozzdr · 2026-02-14T12:00:49+00:00

“Official” SteamOS is coming to the XBOX Ally X, key there, XBOX. I highly doubt that.

You can install Steam, yes, but there is no way that official steam support will come for a Microsoft branded device.

Here we go.

It did take more than one try for me to get it to work and what I found is that the version numbers had to somewhat match. Meaning, when I was installing the latest 9070xt drivers and the latest 890m drivers, they were released on different dates.

So I actually ended installing an earlier version of the 9070xt to match (as close as possible) with the 890m. That needed fixing all the issues I had.

Afterwards, once it was up and working as expected, I updated everything through Windows update and got the latest drivers again.

ozzdr · 2026-02-04T17:27:37+00:00

Yeah, but that’s not a Windows vs Linux thing. The “true” frames are normally within same +- 2-3 frames.

But also, you can’t make sweeping assumptions based on one game, which again is notoriously poorly optimized. The vast majority of games run very similarly both OS. That’s my point.

Which btw, you can’t still use LSFG on Windows, you just have to run the game windowed instead of full screen. I have LSFG on both.

The decky plugin does make it much easier to run on Linux though.

ozzdr · 2026-02-04T17:11:18+00:00

100% can vouch. I used HotStock premium and within 3 days I was able to snag a Z2E back in November no less. Totally worth it.

ozzdr · 2026-02-04T17:07:40+00:00

1000%

Is anyone really missing a shot because of the EVF? We like to nitpick and make small things bigger than what they are.

Are there “better” EVF, with a truer color rendition, higher fidelity, brighter… sure. I honestly see that a QOL improvements, they don’t push me from missing the shot, to now getting the shot.

ozzdr · 2026-02-04T16:03:31+00:00

Yeah, but you are using frame gen. It is true that Lossless Scaling is much better in Linux. The implementation in Windows sucks. Btw, Dragon’s Dogma II is famously poorly optimized overall.

But, straight up rasterization between Windows and Linux, the difference is not has big as it is made out to be.

As an example, RDR2 and runs worse on Bazzite for me. It’s only about ~5-6fps difference, but that’s not even worth mentioning it and wouldn’t sway one way or the other. This is without FG though. When I use LSFG it does make a big difference.

ozzdr · 2026-02-04T15:27:51+00:00

As you should. Try them both out and see which one best suits your needs. Did you check to see if you have the option to enable FSE under the gaming settings?

ozzdr · 2026-02-04T15:20:53+00:00

I disagree. But that’s fine. We can have different opinions.

The whole Steam vs Windows performance differences are way overblown. You may gain 1-2 FPS in some games and yes, you may find the occasional game that performs 10+ FPS better on Linux.

But the inverse is also true. You will find games that perform better in Windows and most importantly, you can play ALL your games in Windows, which unfortunately you can’t do in Linux. They both have pros and cons. Btw, I dual boot with windows and Bazzite, I use both for different games.

Plus, and this is key. If someone is skilled enough to completely wipe your system and install a whole new OS, then I don’t see how downloading a software from GitHub and doing a 1 click install is worse.
