Amaybe a bit, but primarily due to chipset
VResolution, APU, No controllers to charge, less intense cooling system
VThere's a lot
Az1e uses up lots of power, and can go 2x the 15w TDP limit on the deck
AAlright I guess I will go for deck then
VLegion still has it's merits
VBattery just isn't really one of them
AI like it when the device last longer and enjoyable
Aalso depends on how much you care for linux and windows compatibility
ALGO has better windows compatibility, so if dual boot is something you want
Ait's a factor to consider
Anote, i personally don't care for it
AWindows is battery waster though lol
AI don't mind with dual booting
VMe neither, too clunky for my liking.
Alol yeah, but for some specific anti-cheat games that only run on windows with secure boot
Anot possible to secure boot the deck
ALol
Ai tested secure boot on the LGO with bazzite, confirmed that it works
VOoh neat
Aand you can keep TDP control since you can use Lenovo Custom TDP in linux
Aon the deck, you actually cannot enable secure boot at all I think
VI'm keeping an eye on the orange pi handheld
KIt can be enabled on linux, but it's a dangerous since there's no default keys to fall back to
KDefinitely can't be enabled on Windows in a way that will satisfy valorant (malware)
AYeah u can but is it worth of the money for good battery and can handle games that deck can't
VMy college friends want me to play valorant with them, I've stood my ground so far.
Anote that while Bazzite on the LGO is awesome, for everyday users having Deck + official Valve support is still a big plus
VValorant is maybe the only game I refuse to play.
Awe're lucky that the LGO works this well with linux, lol
ASo u saying I should get lgo lol
Anah, just saying to decide on what features you want
VWe're laying out the pros and cons
VWe've not said get one or the other
AYeah there some cons about lgo is u have to use nested steamos desktop thing yk
A? no you don't have to use it
VDo you? I don't remember hearing that
Ayou can use regular desktop mode
KYou don't
VI thought so
AIdk I must be wrong
KI would argue it's better not to anyway, even on official deck hardware nested isn't that great
KIt has a place and a reason to be
VI personally don't use it.
Anested is nice for quick changes
KGood for managing files or quickly browsing the web
Auseful for decky dev work where i need to check changes to a plugin as i develop it
Abut that's a weird edge case
KSpeaking of which, we should look into getting your plugins updated by Topgrade
AI having trouble with deciding with lgo or deck oled
