Dual Boot Guide - BazziteOS and Windows on the Legion Go (Updated)

[@SEF84]

I managed to install bazzite in dualboot on my legion go using this video guide and the resources linked, thank you! Been daily driving it for a week and still works great.

[@Otakulad]

I haven't done this yet but this seems to be one of the most complete and easy to follow tutorials I have ever seen. I look forward to trying this out.

[@aru3]

For anybody encountering suspend issues, there's a bug in the recent BazziteOS update. You can roll back to an older version for now while it's being investigated, see the link for rollback instructions: github.com/aarron-lee/legion-go-tricks?tab=readme-ov-file#known-bugs

[@aru3]

Suspend bug is now fixed, you can find update instructions on the legion-go-tricks repo: github.com/aarron-lee/legion-go-tricks?tab=readme-ov-file#known-bugs

[@BryanMcAllister-f4t]

As a windows handheld user, I can relate😆. literally every time my aunt wants to play on my legion go, I just put it on steam big picture mode so that she doesnt need to navigate through a desktop.

[@aru3]

Note, Nested Desktop app was recently removed from Bazzite because it is broken with KDE 6. Valve needs to update Nested Desktop app for KDE 6, but since SteamOS is still on KDE 5.27, it probably won't be fixed anytime soon. Once Valve fixes Nested Desktop, it'll probably be back.

[@Boone_family]

Does this mean it pointless for me to dual boot bazzite now or will it work still

[@aru3]

@@Boone_family desktop mode itself works perfectly fine, it's just the nested desktop app that doesn't work anymore. it'll work fine

[@paradox8038]

I just picked up the legion Go today and had this video saved to set up. Can you explain to me if there is any benefit up doing dual boot now? Is the nested desktop app separate from Bazzite or is the app Bazzite itself. Sorry completely new to Linux but I am ready to learn and try it for the first time. Also if nested desktop doesn’t work is there other alternatives you recommend?

[@aru3]

​@@paradox8038 Regular Desktop mode still works perfectly fine, it's the nested desktop app that no longer functions. Dual boot is worthwhile if you want a console-like experience via Bazzite, but still want to have Windows available for specific incompatible games.

So I got the latest of all this installed some of the items are not in the same place as this video. Also as stated here manual GPU clock slider is not showing up anywhere when turned on. The Watt slider looks like it moved to TDP area.

[@KevyoKAJ]

Hey, first, thanks for this review. Followed everything this morning and have a working Legion Go with Bazzite. Two quick questions: what is the default resolution and is there a way to change that in any way? Second question is, have you run into issues where you select what’s essentially the Steam button to bring up the left menu in a game and the ability to quit the game, the animation is severely delayed?

[@aru3]

the default resolution for games will be the native screen resolution, but you can change the resolution per-game via the steam settings for that game. not sure about the 2nd question, haven't really seen that.

[@michaeliovani4487]

[@Soljie1969]

Deleting the portion to get rid of Bazzite doesn't work for me . If i restart my Legion Go it goes into grub> and Bazzite is still in the boot menu.

[@legowyn24]

So what I understand from the start and conclusion of the video is that you can get SteamOS on the LegionGo and still have windows as the desktop mode. Are there any downsides or bugs to doing this? Because having SteamOs on a handheld system with more features and no compatibility issues sounds like a dream to me. I know that Bazzite is what's installed but is there any difference between bazzite and SteamOS? Is it just a recreation? Bonus question: Does this boot automatically into Bazzite and go to the windows desktop by going to the desktop mode like the steamdeck? Edit: Ok I just watched Ari's demonstration of the dual boot system. Very cool way to handle it. I hope that you don't need to boot into that menu every time but it's better to do that than not have SteamOS lol

[@marknolette7232]

I followed this tutorial and had no problem with the dual boot setup! A couple of the parts look different now with an updated Bazzite, but all was well. I have a couple of questions. First of all, though most things seem to be at the right resolution, some things in desktop mode on Bazzite (Ryujinx, for example) have fonts so small that the menu bars are barely visible. I had integer scaling set up in Windows. Could that be an issue? If not, how could I fix this? Secondly, I cannot get a virtual keyboard to pop up in desktop mode. Any suggestions? I'm liking this setup so far. Thanks!

[@PMTris]

I don't have a "TDP Limit" button in the "Performance" section like yours. I don't know how to open that button?

[@X9design]

Anybody have some stats or opinions on if the battery lasts longer on Bazzite when running the same games as you'd run under windows?

[@KevyoKAJ]

@aru3 any chance you can make a video that walks us through how to add a boot screen layer where you can turn on the device and be presented with the dual boot options and based on the selection, the OS will fire up?

[@The_Supreme_Savage]

Can you do 3 partitions instead of two so you can have one for windows one for bazzite and then the 3rd one for putting all your games on???

[@bunelaaaan]

very nice tutorial. Does the games with Bazzite on the Legion runs better than on the Steam deck? So what I mean like a best of both worlds? Decks Software with Legions Hardware?? Thanks

[@aru3]

Legion go has higher peak performance, but worse battery life, than the Steam Deck. Basically you need to choose the tradeoff you are comfortable with.

[@Isaypreach]

What do u do if the first install doesn't work? Like how do I do a fresh reinstall on a partitioned drive?

[@lckillah]

Gonna try this out. I have the 1tb legion go and was wondering if I should just partition 40gb for windows just for the updates. Question, how's the performance on Bazzite compared to windows? Also, can you install development apps like Visual Studio Code and other software developer IDE? Would be awesome to use the legion as an all in one device.

[@aru3]

yeah, you can keep a small partition for windows, that's totally fine. As for performance, unfortunately I'm not the best person to ask because I basically never used my windows partition. As for development apps like VS code and other software stuff, you can definitely install it via distrobox or rpm-ostree, but the dev environment setup is definitely a bit more complex than a traditional distro. I've been doing all the Decky plugin dev work on the Legion Go itself, works pretty nicely.

[@lckillah]

@@aru3 thanks for the reply. So do you think there’s no point in keeping a windows partition? How about drivers and bios update for the go?

[@aru3]

@@lckillah i think there's definitely value in keeping windows around for game compatibility reasons + bios/firmware updates. There's no way to do bios/firmware updates on the LGO with linux.

[@Denver_tld]

hey Aru thanks for all the videos tutorials and contribution i'm really wanting to dual boot but i am hoping to play my games on a game only partition one partition is already set for windows only and i have this partition with 3.5 tb of games in it the partition is NTFS is there anyway i could access and play those games from windows and bazzite vice versa ?

[@aru3]

Bazzite does have an NTFS driver built in already, so it can technically read files from Windows. You need to be extremely careful though, there's always the risk of the NTFS partition getting corrupted when being accessed by multiple operating systems. The only way I'd consider it is if your games are on a separate game data only NTFS partition, that way even if the data partition gets corrupted, your important files can be on your Windows boot partition.

[@Denver_tld]

Hey I initially gave bazzite about half of my available space. I want to make that partition bigger now. How do I do that?

[@aru3]

So unfortunately, resizing a bazzite partition after install is very tricky. basically you would need to do three things: 1. resize windows partition smaller 2. somehow move the already existing bazzite partitions such that they are at the beginning of the "free space" on the disk 3. extend the size of the primary bazzite partition You cannot move partitions while booted into bazzite, and windows doesn't recognize the bazzite partitions so you can't move them. Thus the entire process is complicated and requires you to boot Linux off a usb, and manually move + resize the partitions while booted off usb. there's two alternatives that I'd recommend 1. create a data-only partition with the free space you reclaim from Windows, and have bazzite auto-mount that data partition and use it for steam games 2. do a clean reinstall of bazzite. Up to you on which you'd prefer

Managed to get it installed up and running. I was disappointed with the game performance as I expected there should be a little bit better performance over the Steamdeck. However, it's completely obvious that it was pointless to include a 2560 x 1600 screen on this. Very few games performed well beyond the 1280 x 800 Steam Deck resolution. Thankfully games still looked fine at that resolution given how small the screen is. Witcher 3 for instance still ran like crap at Steam Deck settings. I had hoped to bump the resolution up to 1080p. Still it ran fine at 800p

The LGO only has better performance than the Deck at high TDPs, so I'm not entirely surprised at what you're saying. I see the biggest difference with emulation, especially switch and PS3

[@madnessorama1762]

I did this and liked it. But i cant seem to install mullvad vpn after everything and vpn is a must for me.

[@aru3]

you can install VPNs, try asking in the bazzite discord. I don't know if mullvad specifically is supported, but it might be possible that it will work.

Will the controllers be working by default?

with Bazzite? yep, should work ootb

Are there any downsides to completely replacing windows with bazzite?

[@ibrahimrisfan]

Need windows to update bios and drivers to controllers and stuff

[@kigaming2593]

No game pass support,

[@michaeliovani4487]

If you’re not a power user I would advise against replacing windows completely.

[@yoanhg421]

I put Bazzite and had to revert to windows. After a couple of days the update system broke for me and was having issues with controllers and display rotation and stability issues. I do think Bazzite is superior to windows but it still needs work. I would give it another month or two and see where things are. Buy another drive or dual boot. But be very careful. Sucks having to reinstall everything.

[@datafail290]

Due to the fact that Steam OS consumes fewer resources, it gives you FPS more steadily and smoothly. The picture is smoother than on Windows and there are fewer drawdowns in frame time.

im watching this on a laptop using bazzite gnome

[@coolworths]

For some reason, mine has 6 different partitions. Compared to your 5. Idk what im doing man. I haven't touched a PC in over a decade.

[@aru3]

You probably didn't do anything wrong, my Windows install doesn't have an extra recovery partition

[@coolworths]

@@aru3 thanks for responding. I got it up and running but I am new to all of this PC stuff. I haven't really dove in since the early 2000s and retained nothing, unfortunately. Any tips on your YT or do you have a discord or a way to contact you directly?

[@aaroncamm2024]

Can we use this without dual boot so no windows at all

[@DannStarr]

yes

[@aru3]

yep, should work fine. though currently i'd recommend keeping around some way to run Windows. Bios and Controller firmware updates only work through Windows right now.

[@aaroncamm2024]

Im not too worried about the bios and controller updates at the moment as i just want to try it out and see how it compares to stock

Not all the same fixes will apply, but theoretically it can work.

Bazzite needs 20w just to run the UI smoothly.

[@zacthegamer6145]

I wish somebody shows the performance difference between the two. Otherwise, no need for this!

[@aru3]

if performance is your reason for considering Bazzite, you should stop. Some games are better on bazzite, others on Windows. The main reason to choose bazzite is for quality-of-life features, such as working quick suspend-resume, per-game custom TDP controls, per game fps caps, etc.

Have you used a Steam Deck before? Then you know how absolute crap Windows 11 is for handheld gaming. Not to mention Lenovo’s pathetic attempts at optimizing the OS. It doesn’t matter how much better certain games run on Windows if it’s a constant struggle just to launch and have the controls work as intended

my go failed to resize windows. Had an error about too many fragments an now the system won't start.

Got it to reboot into windows finally. gonna try this again :)

yep, you trade off gamepass for significantly better improved UI/UX. Worth it for me.
