While the handheld PC market has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with challengers popping up in an attempt to dethrone Valve’s Steam Deck, many use Microsoft’s Windows as an operating system, which, for all intents and purposes, isn’t as good as Steam Deck’s aptly titled SteamOS. It’s taken a while, but another competitor is finally using a Linux-based OS, and it’s a big part of what makes the Lenovo Legion Go S with Steam OS so good.
Capable of running all of the best Steam Deck games like you’d expect, the Lenovo Legion Go S is an interesting rival to the top handheld consoles right now. It loses its funky feature of detachable controllers à la the Switch in favor of the more commonplace handheld PC design we’ve come to know and love. Yet, while it does have some issues that the Lenovo Legion Go 2 could fix, it proves that maybe SteamOS or other handheld-focused operating systems continue to be the way to go.
