Say your audio stops working.
On the installed OS, you can ask the device’s manufacturer for support, and there will be 20 articles out about what’s gone wrong. If you installed a secondary OS, you might find much much less, or there might be no fix at all. The manufacturer doesn’t have to help you, nor do they care.
It’s a bit like being an outlaw. Sure, the methods may be out there, but the protections aren’t. Even if 20 people on social media say the secondary OS works well, when something breaks none of those people are volunteering to be your tech support.
Plus, SteamOS as a whole has much better controller support than Windows. From what I understand, Lenovo has added some of its own software to account for that kind of thing on its handheld.
ASUS also has Armoury Crate which is their software for managing the console. Lets you do things like change the VRAM, processor voltage, LED settings, and it also works as a unified game launcher across all the different platforms.
They actually just updated it today and made a bunch of great changes, including some power optimizations with the processor boost mode.
