SteamOS 3.7.9 Beta: Wingercizing

• Fixed Legion Go S joystick lights turning off upon entering desktop mode
• Fixed controller input occasionally disappearing on the Asus ROG Ally

I'm diggin' Valve beating Microsoft at their own game.

While I love Linux and truly believe in it's superiority, this isn't really a fair comparison, this distro has been tailored for like 3 machines, compared to Windows being for thousands of machines.

[tonytins@pawb.social]

In terms of raw numbers, I agree. That being said, SteamOS is accomplishing everything Microsoft had planned for with the original Xbox and more.

[altomes@lemm.ee]

Oh yeah for sure

Why doesn't anybody bother with tailoring a Windows distro like this?

[donutsrmeh@lemmy.world]

I think it's the other way around, thousands of machines are tailored for windows. Don't manufacturers create their own drivers for windows all the time?

How does a general purpose distro like Bazzite compare to Windows/Steam OS on the Legion?

[altomes@lemm.ee]

I believe this is Microsoft plan with their fusing of Xbox and windows branding down the line

[altomes@lemm.ee]

Not sure for the legion but the bazzite install on the Ally is amazing, it is again scoped for a small handful of devices. But I doubt I'll leave Bazzite anytime soon, I run a Fedora shop at home and I prefer Gnome to KDE plus I like the TPM control in Bazzite a lot

The non-S variant of the Legion Go is technically tailored for Windows, but the OS was never designed to fulfill this role. Only the Xbox version is capable of that.

OEMs tailor windows as much as they can, but there's only so much you can do.
