We know that official support for the Ally is coming, so this could be considered a preview of what that will be like.
Rog ally was an idea at the time I was buying my deck. People told me I should get it instead because it was more popular and ran windows so it would be directly supported by games. I’m so glad I did not buy into that, the oled deck is fantastic. My hands go numb playing it, or watching movies. Sure put steamos on the Ally, but…
because it was more popular
Meanwhile the Deck is outselling all other handheld PCs combined
What’s wild is that there are people who bought the Steam Deck and immediately put Windows on it. Didn’t even try SteamOS.
If you know that you want to play a game that only runs on Windows?
It’s their device, I never tried Windows on the notebooks I bought in recent years either

I mean “real SteamOS” has always been available. It was just never tailored to those devices.

As well, Bazzite is for all intents and purposes just SteamOS with support for other handhelds. It runs the exact same gamemode package that the Deck does.

Bazzite is great but people are going to be far more likely to install SteamOS just because it’s Steam.

Bazzite is awesome.

And even the OG SteamOS is just a flavor of Arch that is immutable
