Just watched the video, there's one missing requirement for TDP control on the Legion Go. For working TDP control, you either need STAMP/STAPM enabled in the bios, or use the `Lenovo Custom TDP` toggle in SimpleDeckyTDP. If you don't enable one of those options, TDP control won't work on the LGO
Love your video too Aru this is more up to date with the fedora distro and all, but i gotta say you are like bullet train on your how too i have to go back over and over because of how fast you moved through the steps having another lad on youtube give it a go as a non over technical wizzard spin is good too.
Was getting fatal error following another RUclipsr using the automatic partition part on my ally X. YOU helped me get through the install doing it manually!! Can’t thank you enough Cyber. Keep on keeping on man! 💪🏼
If you have questions about Bazzite not related to installation, see my last video. If you run into the “bitlocker issue” you can go into settings, security and encryption on the windows settings to turn it off.
I don't really leave comments on videos, but as someone who's relied on tuts for the last couple of decades this is one of the best. You take your time without wasting time, speaking chilled enough to follow easily. Awesome work!
Great job. The fact that you are not an "expert" has served your video well. Clear, concise, and easy to follow instructions. Well done to you sir, keep up the good work.
This video is awesome, I installed Bazzite OS on my Legion Go. I have to tinker around with Proton Again, however I have experience thanks to SteamDeck. I have a feeling that I will shrinking my windows partition even more. My ROG Ally is still my straight Windows 11 Device. I cant wait to finish work so I have to install decky loader and other add ons. Thank you for making this experience easy to DualBoot CyberDopamine and tyvm Aru for Bazzite OS.
@@sneak0ut when Best Buy initially dropped the price of the Z1 around a month ago, there was a few hours where it was priced at $299. Then they raised it to $399.
Great video and really easy to follow. Still works as of Aug of 2024. The newer release of bazzite already has firefox installed and while screen being flipped during the install is no longer an issue and seems to have been corrected.
thanks so much for the tutorial, Followed it & working *pretty flawlessly* on my legion go, DAMN gyro on the detached controllers is insanelyyyyyyyyyyy good!!! literally a game changer and this is coming from a huge windows lover lol.

The more people learn to multiboot a variety of OS the better. Handhelds have introduced a vast number of gamers to a very useful option for many computers. Ideally the hard disc would be cartridge mounted (for more durable connectors) for rapid swapout letting anyone run any or many OS. Maybe someone will print an adapter.
Hi love the chilled approach taking your time is what made me use this vid as my go to. Do you need to redo this every time you update the legion go windows bios ? For the drive you use for flashing what format do we use fat32 ? Thanks in advance.
You can do it without wifi on the later versions from what I've seen. But I do use your tutorial for bits and pieces of this each times cause it saves me from remembering all the steps all the time lol
Love the video and love to see your progression in the space man. , but I have a bit of an issue. I tried following your guide and Aru’s guide and I consistently get a “failed to write boot loader configuration”. I have tried everything to find a solution online for this, but have come up short. This only happens at about midway through the install. It says that it can’t make it bootable. Very confusing and frustrating. Did you use 3.0.1 for this install?
Thanks, followed for Legion Go. Using Bazzite 3.0 I believe. How do I now dual boot. Do I have to Power on + Volume up , select Windows Boot loader, and then boot into Windows. Or should the menu come up each time? Cheers
Great video as always.. I have a question, I got the 500GB model if I go on with the partition process it means that will leave very little space for games meaning having a robust Microsd is a must correct?
Hey man great video, planning on installing Bazzite on my ROG Ally. 1 question, do you find the 512gb is enough storage after installing Bazzite and having Windows to dual boot?
just an fyi you can change boot order before turning off secure boot its right there in the very front next to the more options button that way you dont have to boot into bios twice
So as far as i can understand you have to do this on an empty ssd correct? I ask this because im thinking on dual booting my Gpd Win Max 2 but i already have data and dont want to lose it by doing this. Sorry if its a dumb question but i have rarely do this without guides.
Have you tried booting from the MicroSD slot? I'm curious, I mean you could save yourself some troubles and peace of mind as well as space by using a 2 1Tb microSDXC then. I have a GPD Win 4 and have Batocera running on a 1.5Tb microSDXC with a terabyte of rom's. I've got a $500 dollar 1tb Legion Go on layaway, couldn't pass it up when I saw it was a 1tb model.
can you play games on the windows partition using bazzite OS? its like a shared folder? or do you have to convert the windows partition into btrfs to be able to shared?
Man, you're so freaking awesome ❤ Got a couple of things The LeGo overheats and FPS are not stable. I am testing MGS V Phantom Pain. On my Steam Deck Oled it is stable, warm but not hot and always 60fps After 5 min it turns off and crashes. I've been following every step of the video but I can't fix it to be stable. Thanks mate you are awesome 🎉
Dude, you are a champion, thanks for the guide! Too easy. Installed it on my Rog Ally, dual booting with windows. I’ve got a 2TB SSD installed so allocated about 1TB to each of windows and bazzite. I haven’t been using the device that much, cause when I do it takes for ever doing all the updates and going into all the launchers, and I usually get bored after that then put it away. So happy to have bazzite on there now, as I mainly play my steam games on the Ally anyway. One thing, are you able to share what settings you have for the ROG Ally in SimpleDeckyTDP?
Found today's project, thanks king! I'm trying to decide if I should dualboot or just swap out my m.2 drive and go straight linux on the 512gb that came stock in the Ally 🤔
thank you so much for this! very accurate and informative tutorial! I observed that there is a really significant performance increase with my cozy games (for example pioneers of olive town) - it can now achieve 144 fps/hz buttery smooth! just want to add that secure boot should be disabled in the bios to get rid of the 'you have to load kernel first' error when starting bizzite for the first time. question tho is that I observed the resolution to be forced to not occupy the entire screen in the legion go. and this was not an issue with windows. Is there any fix for this?
when I hibernate on windows it automatically reboots into bazzite when I press the power button again. how do I make it go right back into windows from where I left off?
Bro I love your channel could you do a review of the Onexfly handheld please. I own it and I also own the steam deck and Legion Go but I love my Onexfly the most. I know if anyone can give the love the Onexfly deserves its you. Thanks for the amazing content.
firstly thank you so much for this video. Loving bazzite on my ally, 2 slight issues, hoping theres an easy fix, when i wake from sleep the controller isnt responsive right away take like 2 seconds to register my button presses (still way faster than windows), i have it dual booted with only using 50gb for bazzite, when i access my games from windows partition ntfs i need to go into desktop mode on boot and enter password and then return to gaming mode and they work fine. Can i put in a script that grants access from gaming mode right away from boot? any pointers for these two questions would be really appreciated!
@@lvgs7348 Would highly recommend using a mouse because I think that’ll keep the cursor from moving all over the place. Unfortunately no one responded for like 2 weeks so I ended up just taking it to a tech store near me and they did it but ofc i had to pay smh
Hey cyber! So I did this and works perfect!! Wondering if I can turn of cpu boost, did you try this or try figure it out for us? Turning it off would be so good and reduce impact on battery !
How is the performance ? we need to see the play experience to make sure steam OS is open and with higher spec device it blasting out perform compare on windows OS. Your review result please, thank you !
I tried to install KDE and set aside partition prior. I have 4TB in my LeGo and the unallocated size is 1.5TB. When select installation destination, I saw the free space but keep saying “system can’t configure storage”. Tried advanced option to change label to EFI but still no luck. Is it my ssd? Size of unallocated space? Or something else? Doesn’t have bitlocker, encryption. Turned off fast startup, disabled security boot. No luck.
I have questions, Did it waking up after suspend/sleep and back to recent game instantly? And how about the battery, Did it long lasting like a Steam Deck?
Thanks a ton for your help. I just followed everything for an ASUS ROG ALLY X. Everything worked except the "ujust setup-decky simpledeckytdp) and "ujust setup-decky hhd-decky" steps. It just sat there and did nothing when I put those in. Consequently, nothing is in the little menu when I press the Armor Crate button. Any suggestions?

Did the installation twice no problem, great tutorial! Unfortunately my vpn and lossless scaling not being supported is kind of a deal breaker for me.

Hey, Cheers for the video!
Question, do you need to install games twice, so on both OS-s or once is enough and both OS-s can handle it?
The more people learn to multiboot a variety of OS the better. Handhelds have introduced a vast number of gamers to a very useful option for many computers.
Ideally the hard disc would be cartridge mounted (for more durable connectors) for rapid swapout letting anyone run any or many OS. Maybe someone will print an adapter.
