      Makes sense - probably will perform better and they don’t have to pay for a license.

          I wouldn’t even blame Lenovo for not passing over the savings of Linux. Because that means, they have a huge reason to sell Linux based systems, as they make more money from each unit this way.

            I actually thought Microsoft excuses handhelds from Windows licensing fees? Or discounts them?

                No idea, it’s just regular Windows 11 underneath so I don’t believe it’s exempt from licensing.

                    They used to have this

                    But I think they ended this deal at some point

                This is the way.

                  • Also, there are placeholder listings for SteamOS compatible variants of the Legion Go 2 controllers on Lenovo’s store. https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/legion-series/legion-go-8ahp2/83n1/parts/display/compatible
