- Valves Steamos 3.7 Stable has official support for Lenovo Legion Go’s
- It also contains limited support for other AMD-powered handheld
- It has promised future support to other devices
Microsoft’s Windows 11 has been present at most handheld games -PCs, especially Asus Rog Ally and Lenovo Legion go. However, it may be on the verge of changing, with Valve’s Linux operating system first, which goes to a new handheld.
As reported by Videocardz, Valves Steamo’s 3.7-bard is released with Full Lenovo Legion Go S-Support along with other AMD-powered handheld game PCs. While solutions such as preview -drivers or beta buildings have been available, this is the first time Valve has provided gamers installation instructions (specifically to Lenovo Legion Go and Asus Rog Ally).
Compatibility includes other AMD-powered handheld game PCs, but it is important to note that the valve has stated that only Legion GO’s (and of course the steam deck) will have official Steamos Support. However, it emphasizes that it is constantly working on improved support for other handhels.
Fortunately, players still have other options such as Bazzite, which is essentially a Steamos clone with additional features such as handheld demon for greater handheld functionality; The most important thing is that it undoubtedly has more support through updates to desktop -PCs, laptops and handheld.
It may be a while before we see Steamos on its full capacity on non-steam coverings, so bazzite, chimeraos and other Steamos or Linux-Distros, who are ideal for handheld games, are definitely them to look at in the meantime.
Another reason for Microsoft to step it up for handheld with Windows 11 …
In addition to the problems of anti-cheat games that do not run on Linux (specifically Steamos), running Microsoft’s Windows 11 on handheld games PCs has get benefits.
Even with tools like Armory Crate at Asus Rog Ally, Microsoft has not yet recognized and support portable devices. Furthermore, with the running of game -breaking bugs from Windows 11 24h2, I was convinced to install Bazzite.
I have to say I’m glad I did it when the Steamos user experience for handhelds is significantly better than Windows 11. It helped me appreciate the sleep feature further on the steam deck, which is a pain to handle on Windows as games can go down to wake up your device. It is not a problem now that it is possible with other handhelders using Steamos via Distros or Valves Steamos distribution.
There are plenty of reasons why Microsoft will intensify it with better Windows 11 features for handhelds, but now is the best time to shop. When units other than Legion Go S and Steam Deck have greater Steamos support, I suspect even more PC players will turn away from the popular operating system …
