SteamOS is AMAZING on Rog Ally and Legion Go. BazziteOS battery test, Benchmarks, etc...

LEGION GO DUALBOOT GUIDE I FOLLOWED (Aru)
• Dual Boot Guide - Bazz...
The Legion Go and Rog ally have been dualbooted with Bazzite OS/SteamOS to replicate the Steamdeck OLED experience Here we run battery test, benchmarks and walkthrough/installation to give you an idea on if its worth it.

Will look into this. Must say I've sold my Rog now after getting legion go I couldn't go back to the smaller screen. Not saying the Rog is no good I just preferred the larger screen especially emulation for ps2 and gamecube. I'm not too good at things like this so will keep an eye out if you do a tutorial .. as for battery I'd rather have the bigger display than 30 more minutes, but I'm 50 years old so need larger displays 😂😂 thanks for uploading buddy.

[@franciscofreeland-gonzalez1991]

@@pbarratt73You want big screens? It’s not cheap, but the Xreal Air (they have a 2nd gen by now) should be compatible with your Legion Go. The refresh rate might be slightly lower (120hz vs 144hz), but the tradeoff is probably worth it for you. Screen goes way bigger

G’day king - I asked on another video if you recommended the Steam Deck or Legion Go, you recommended the LeGo and I bought one.

[@airruiz2362]

Please make more videos comparing Windows and Bazzite performance on these two handhelds! I’m surprised to see that battery life did not improve and to get the conveniences of sleep/resume mode along with a console UI you have to give up game compatibility. I would also be interested in seeing more performance benchmarks at 15W and lower between bazzite and Deck OLED. Thanks for making this video, I was looking for some comparisons like this the other day and I found nothing like this.

There is one thing i want to say and it is that you are doing amazing job! even though i dont have any handhelds i just enjoy your videos. Also you dont need to be sorry for not having scientific tests for plus minus 3 frames, we are gamers and we just test games exactly as you do and it feels closer to reality and what we are used to than when i watch deep dive benchmark videos where i dont understand half of it.

[@murphy1138]

Brilliant. So much better, i should have done this with my ROG Ally, but i have since returned it. I wanted it for GamePass which i cant use on Steam OS. But you have once again proved that this is the the way for these devices.

[@emlyndewar]

Bought a Legion Go last week, but waiting until I clearout some of my other computer stuff before I let myself use it properly… 😂 Really like the videos you put you on the channel.

[@thebluestig2654]

You might not want to wait, Cloud Saves will allow you to play those PC titles and transfer the saves easily between PC and handheld. Steam also allows a "Streaming" option for the handhelds where the PC runs the game while screen-sharing to the handheld. This allows you to run the same PC game portably within your house so you can play in bed, or in the bathroom if you really wanted to. This way you can easily play large games you might not have the room to install on the Legion Go, stuff like Ark Survival Evolved that takes up nearly half a terabyte by itself.

[@emlyndewar]

I’ve already got an Ayaneo , but they really shit the bed on getting a replacement battery. I don’t really need my main desktop now, so will get rid and just use the Legion Go. I don’t play stuff that takes up comical disk space. @@thebluestig2654

[@sheldonzs]

Thanks for making the video and taking the time to run these experiments! Is sounds like the main benefits are a more console like experience, per-game power profiles, and a smoother standby/wake up sequence. But compatability and performance vs windows depends on the proton layer, and battery life is basically the same. Is that all correct?

[@samsonvarughese9002]

The deck does perform better at lower TDPs, when matched like for for like the battery life is basically the same

[@conchobar]

The Steam Deck's efficiency is due to its custom APU, not SteamOS.

@@conchobarwell yes, but surely a more efficient OS could help aid longevity.. if only by a little. But yeah, I’m aware it’s primarily the APU.

Did you confirm to set the cpu power draw to battery saving then in the new settings underneath set it to balanced then the tdp to 15 in decky loader before the test or did you just do the tdp to 15? It's the same as setting the power mode on windows to balanced instead of efficiency and performance, in fact the bazzite version should have two more settings which are inbetween they are power saving-balance and performance-balance.

Question about updates for legion go software/bios - How do we do those firmware updates on the seam os? Do we need to flash back to our windows to do those updates and then they will work with SteamOS? Same with drivers like AMD etc, how do those updates work when on SteamOS or BazziteOS?

[@Denver_tld]

Thanks for delving into it apart from aru who shows you how to install this, there's no one covering this I've silently hoping for a one shot install image with everything preloaded for the go 🤞if that ever happens plus I hear bios and over bazite updates have kind of broken the system before. Can you play games from your windows partition, steam & non steam games and switch between playing them on windows and bazite without tweaking anything?

[@CyberDopamine]

Aru is an absolute G! I wish we could play games from windows partition but that is a tough one since its a whole diff operating system and the partition blocks off that part unless for boot

No it doesn’t matter. It can totally be 4k and work like a normal computer. But when you play games, you’re gonna have to take down the resolution
