I run Linux on my server and Windows on my Legion Go. If it were easier to tackle switching from an AMD iGPU to an AMD eGPU on Linux, I'd probably abandon Windows completely.

Ah oke, didn't know that to be honest. So you don't boot up on desktop environment anymore? I saw some videos that showed it was a regular windows 11 installation and barely usable with the touchscreen.

Is it something like steam now? That start at nice clean interface.

No, it's still the desktop version. Have you noticed how ugly Windows 11 got recently? It's because of these optimizations.

Menus have become more touch-friendly and window controls become comparatively more robust as your screen size decreases. I'm surprised how much more frequently I interact with my touch screen than my keyboard and mouse sometimes.

I bought my Legion Go for portable photo and video editing and get a free Adobe license through my work, which is why I went with Windows. I've heard that you can install Creative Cloud on Linux, but I've been told by our technologists that the Enterprise login might not work when it detects the operating system.

At this point, most of my reasons for sticking with Windows boil down to laziness. If I really felt like taking the time to test Adobe, my eGPU, StarCitizen, and the various Legion Go hardware features, I could probably deliver more informed explanations. But alas... I'm too lazy right now and spend my non-lazy time working on other projects.

I had it running on my PC for awhile but switched back to 10 because my performance wasn't great. It isn't even running anymore because my videocard died this week, haha.

If only I could get the steel series software to run on Linux for my apex 350 keyboard I would've stayed on Linux. My next one will be Linux compatibiliteit, haha.
