Turns out the problem with mobile was windows all along!

And the legion go 2 is windows 11 only so they did not learn anything

Lenovo loves to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks.

I'm glad their rootkit idea didn't stick.

I for one eagerly awaits Lenovo to release SteamOS versions of their ThinkPads

They generally run Linux without issue already... that said, pre-installed options would be nice, not sure if SteamOS is the most appropriate. Probably Pop, Cachy or Bazzite, and given that Pop comes from a competitor, unlikely.

This t470 on ubuntu 2404 runs steam just fine.

The main issue with modern games is the lack of gpu, but gpus in laptops are never great.

I mean most thinkpads run linux jist fine. So they already are SteamOS machines.

We're talking about making it popular though, so shipping with it is the important part. You can also install Windows on the Steam Deck but that doesn't make the Steam Deck a win for Windows.
