Lenovo Legion Go S Runs Smoother with Bazzite, Leaving Windows Behind

Lenovo’s new gaming handheld, Legion Go S, delivers better performance with Bazzite than Windows 11, according to early tests.

While Lenovo plans to release a SteamOS version in May, many gamers are already switching to Bazzite, a powerful SteamOS alternative.

Bazzite Boosts Performance

YouTuber ETA Prime tested the Legion Go S with Bazzite and found that it offers better TDP control, smoother gameplay, and improved RGB settings compared to Windows 11.

The device also outperforms the Steam Deck OLED thanks to its newer AMD Ryzen Z2 APU and optional 32 GB RAM.

Pricing Concerns

While Bazzite provides a great experience, the Windows version of the Legion Go S costs $729.99, making it much pricier than the upcoming $499.99 SteamOS version.

Gamers looking for the best value may want to wait for Lenovo’s official SteamOS release.

For now, those who already own the Legion Go S can get a significant performance boost by switching to Bazzite—making it a solid choice for Linux gaming.
