My Go S already came with Steam OS. Why they still messing about with Windows?
Fuck I just ordered a Go 2 with the intention of installing Linux.
Pioneer.. don't worry.. you will love it. Steam os rocks..
Thank you. I just don't want to pay monies for an OS I'm going to ditch immediately. But if I wait RAM prices will make up for that anyway.
Also is there a way to change the factory reset image to put the official steam os one instead of windows?
I probably won't use SteamOS but Bazzite or Cachy.
That just means it'll be an officially supported conversion.
That's good news
Less than $1800? Hurray, I guess?
How does this hardware compare to Steam Deck? That’s the real interesting detail.
Basically everything is more powerful than the steam deck. The steam deck wasn't really designed to be powerful, moreso it's meant to be the "reference model" for handhelds: cheapest, weakest, yet also most mainstream. My understanding is that the Z2 should be substantially more powerful than the steam deck, and though it should also use more battery than the steam deck, it also has a larger battery capacity to make up for that increased power draw. Price, on the other hand... Well, nothing can even get close to the sort of price that a steam deck offers
The legion go 2 was released in october. Hw comparisons with other options already exist. That's not the point of this story.
The hardware makes it sound like it will still be $1 000 minimum. Mayhaps more with everything going on.
The article didn't say their stance on opening the device. Does it void warranty to upgrade or repair?
You're talking as if this wasn't a device that's already available...
