Legion Go + Bazzite = Actual Joy (lemmy.world)

Verdict with Bazzite on Legion Go?

This is a massive improvement over Windows 11—not small.

The most immediate upgrade is the sound. On Windows, the sound was shrill and tinny, to the point I thought this was a hardware issue. But on Bazzite, I finally have rich and full sound.

The other big benefit is suspend. Now I just press the power button, the game stops and the screen turns off. Press it again, it resume from where I left off.

But also, unlike Windows, I can entirely navigate using the controller. Right trigger is left mouse click, for example. No need for touchscreen navigation.

Battery improvements are also tremendous. Bazzite sips less juice. AAA games can be played noticeably longer, indie way more longer.

Shockingly, I see frame improvements. Not small either. Imagine that, an OS change results in more frames!

Took me awhile to figure out Bazzite. But it was worth it.

I tried Bazzite on an old mid-tier gaming laptop, was Mondo impressed. I basically agree with all the things you said. Amusingly, I find that just general purpose computing is snappier and smoother too, so I wound up using it mostly as my surfing/Plex/shopping machine more than anything else.
