While there doesn't seem to have been any announcement from Lenovo yet that I can see, Best Buy in the USA have put up two versions of the Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS for pre-order.

    It seems Windows is having issues, I’m hoping that the linux version is more stable. Its already a lot cheaper, so getting two upps would be nice.

    Haven’t bought my Linux handheld yet, but I still think I’m gonna go with a used LCD steam deck. Still, I’m keeping my eyes open if it appears that the Legion Go S could be a good alternative.

    Is there really no difference between the steam version and the windows version? Or does the windows license really cost them $180? Cause as-is, it would be cheaper to buy the steam version and put your own windows license on it.

        Hey, I have a SteamDeck and it’s running SteamOS. I’m just saying that IF you wanted windows, it wouldn’t make sense to buy it as a Windows device.

          Hmm okkk lol

          But yea, that’s been true for decades now, if you could find an OEM that sold the model you wanted sans windows AND offered a discount for it it’d be about 100 bucks cheaper

    You know there’s always been speculation about how much a Windows license costs but I guess now we know…
