If you've used Big Picture Mode, you know 1. It's also available on the Legion Go S and 2. it absolutely does not solve that problem.
SteamOS solves that problem with GameScope and also by not running unnecessary background processes.
It's doesn't solve the problem because it wasn't made for the GO. It was made by steam to be a front end for a console like experience on a TV. I'm not saying it solves Lenovo problem, just that steam made a front end over windows that fixes their problem. Lenovo didn't.
No, it doesn't solve the problem because there are limitations of the OS that Lenovo can't do anything about. Maybe one day MS will open-source Windows and Lenovo can contribute to it's improvement, but until then...
Or, I don't know, use an already open source OS... Like valve did. Lenovo made a choice, got lazy, and everyone is defending them.
They are going to offer that in the near future. It will come with it's own compromises. But it sounds like you agree the OS is the problem and not Lenovo.
I'm glad they rushed it out without making sure they sent a good product first.
