I won't consider these new devices because they don't have touch pads, but if inwas gifted one or had a friend that had one I would definitely recommend Bazzite if they don't play many multiplayer titles.

Great to see it taking off.

Maybe we're talking about different things... but, there is a touchpad on my Legion Go?

There is but only on one side and, while I've not personally used it, the size and placement seem to make it more of a cursor aid than something that can be used well in games.

I've not tried to use it in games, but given the "scroll, lift, reset... scroll, lift, reset" x50 it takes to get across the Windows desktop, I would agree.

It does have "FPS mode", which basically turns the right controller into a vertical mouse. I haven't used that for basically anything either, but I've read rave reviews from some FPS players!
