Fuck I just ordered a Go 2 with the intention of installing Linux.

That just means it’ll be an officially supported conversion.

Less than $1800? Hurray, I guess?

How does this hardware compare to Steam Deck? That’s the real interesting detail.

The legio go 2 was released in october. Hw comparison s with other options already exist. That’s not the point of this story.

Basically everything is more powerful than the steam deck. The steam deck wasn’t really designed to be powerful, moreso it’s meant to be the “reference model” for handhelds: cheapest, weakest, yet also most mainstream. My understanding is that the Z2 should be substantially more powerful than the steam deck, and though it should also use more battery than the steam deck, it also has a larger battery capacity to make up for that increased power draw. Price, on the other hand… Well, nothing can even get close to the sort of price that a steam deck offers

The hardware makes it sound like it will still be $1 000 minimum. Mayhaps more with everything going on.
The article didn’t say their stance on opening the device. Does it void warranty to upgrade or repair?

You’re talking as if this wasn’t a device that’s already available…

My Go S already came with Steam OS. Why they still messing about with Windows?
