Looks like installing SteamOS can provide better framerates which is not surprising.

I bought this during the sale on woot last month (same price). The screen is great. I went through the process first to log in with Windows first so I could activate the 3 months of Xbox Game Pass to use on my PC. Installing SteamOS on it was a very easy and quick process and I highly recommend it. Simple stuff like sleep and wake in Windows 11 is junk and you'd expect better from a gaming handheld. Everything works faster and in SteamOS this is just a steam deck with a better screen and controllers. The hall effect joysticks on the Legion Go S won't wear out and get stick drift - this happens eventually on a Steam Deck but at least they are reasonably easy to replace. $550 for this thing right now with the ram price insanity is quite a solid price.

I keep going back and forth between this on an AYN Odin 3. The Legion can probably do more due to higher specs, but I think I'd rather have a Steamdeck than the Legion. Memory and storage pricing really has the market mixed up.

The Odin 3 will be a easier if console emulation is your goal. I've used SteamOS for emulation for a few years before picking up a handful of Android handhelds, and the process to set up Android is a lot easier. Maintenance with Emudeck can be annoying when an update randomly breaks something, and parsing the collection to Steam is just another step.

You can either set up a front-end on the Odin 3 like ES-DE, or just use the apps individually. There is less to go wrong.

If the goal is to play Steam Games however, a device like the Legion, ROG Ally or Steam Deck running SteamOS is superior. You can do PC emulation via GameHub / GameHub Lite / GameNative, but the Z2 Go should be faster than the SnapDragon Elite for the same PC games. You also have the option to dual boot or just install Windows if the game you want to play doesn't support SteamOS or Bazzite.

Careful... once you start collecting handhelds, it becomes a dangerous addiction.

What handheld do you recommend as the flagship for pure steamOS?

Bought one off of Woot, it's great despite some negativity. The Legion Go 2 (Z2 Go) at 15w, the Steam Deck gets better optimized performance. But bumping the Legion Go S (Z2 Go) to 17w, it give the additional CU's more juice to provide better performance - plus you can ramp up the TDP higher to squeeze more performance (in exchange for battery). Docking works well with a eGPU (tried a Minisforum DEG2).

I regret not buying the SteamOS version of this with Z1E, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD when it was like $650-700.

Anyone found a deal for time machines?

Anyone who has this, have you recently tried playing Halo MCC collection? I haven't seen any update if they fixed it.

Hi do you happen to have Halo MCC? I wonder how it plays on this device? Thanks for the Steam OS validation. That was one of my 2 questions

Flagship? The Steam Deck OLED, as it's the "official handheld" of SteamOS. The price increases killed those as a reasonable choice however, so you're way better off with almost anything else that's closer to MSRP.

I've had a great experience with my ROG Ally Z1E with SteamOS. It's almost as good as the original Valve handhelds.

Really, all the Lenovo Legion series handhelds run it extremely well since Valve opened up support and officially launched Legion handhelds with SteamOS in partnership. I'd probably give the edge currently to Lenovo's offerings, but if you can get an ROG Ally X for under $800, it's a great option too. 24GB and 32GB RAM handhelds really hold an edge vs 16GB handhelds which are starting to suffer from balancing RAM and VRAM, so that's another important consideration.

Either way, I generally recommend Z1E and Z2E handhelds for SteamOS as they're fully supported by SteamOS and Bazzite, and they offer great performance for most games. Intel based handhelds like the MSI Claw series have recently seen support for SteamOS, but they're a bit buggy currently, so you're probably better off with the AMD handhelds if SteamOS is the goal.

Like the other guy said, Legion Go S with SteamOS is ideal. As a handheld with both factory Windows and SteamOS versions, the lower tier Z2 Go performs better with SOS than even the Steam Deck OLED which is Valve's flagship. If you care about mouse based games its a no go but I feel like most people buying this are not going to play RTS or FPS, and the Go S is superior in almost every other way. Especially given the price increases it destroys the base Deck that it now competes against.
