Lenovo Legion Go S Review: Held Back By Microsoft
-
If you've used Big Picture Mode, you know 1. It's also available on the Legion Go S and 2. it absolutely does not solve that problem.It's doesn't solve the problem because it wasn't made for the GO. It was made by steam to be a front end for a console like experience on a TV. I'm not saying it solves Lenovo problem, just that steam made a front end over windows that fixes their problem. Lenovo didn't.

Has _anyone_ made a Windows gaming handheld which achieves Steam-level user experience? Seems unfair to blame Lenovo if nobody else can turn Windows from a sow’s ear into a silk purse.

No, it doesn't solve the problem because there are limitations of the OS that Lenovo can't do anything about. Maybe one day MS will open-source Windows and Lenovo can contribute to it's improvement, but until then...
-
Well, maybe if they tried, which Lenovo hasn't. They chose to use barebones windows. They were lazy. I don't know, fuck it, keep blaming windows for everyone else's failures. Whatever.
-
Or, I don't know, use an already open source OS... Like valve did. Lenovo made a choice, got lazy, and everyone is defending them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Micro$oft is more than happy to let companies pay to use their terrible OS for purposes they never built it for. But the question still stands as to why any of these companies continue to try and shove Windows into a use case that was never even a consideration when it was designed. Like, if I had a really terrible hammer, and started trying to use it as a saw... I wouldn't blame the hammer's inherent terribleness at it's intended job for why it failed.

Iant there an official steam OS version for this device...?

They are going to offer that in the near future. It will come with it's own compromises. But it sounds like you agree the OS is the problem and not Lenovo.

There is supposed to be an eventual release with steamOS, which seems to be very close to being ready. I have the original Legion go, and am running steamOS beta, it's so lovely, highly recommended.Do you think eventually they'll get an official build for ROG Ally?
