I’m pretty sure Big Picture Mode on Desktop Steam proves that you can have a dedicated user experience curated on windows without having to rewrite the OS. Lenovo didn’t do anything, they just shipped stock windows and a storefront and assumed it would work out.
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…
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.
There’s not much they can do. Problems are at the OS level, where Lenovo has no control.

SteamOS solves that problem with GameScope and also by not running unnecessary background processes.

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.

I’m glad they rushed it out without making sure they sent a good product first.
