Jthe form factor is what sells me on the ally
Xi got cyberbullied into putting windows back on my ally to give it a "fair chance"
KProblem with the ally imo is it doesn't solve a problem
Xit does solve a problem kyle
Mit came out at a good time, that was their main advantage
Bthats one of the only reasons these devices exist, to try and keep windows leveraged against valve, right?
KIt can run tames better, but games where it matters run worse
Jlike, if anything you hope ally 2.0 improves what they have, like it has the potential to be a smaller form factor, which I like.
Xit fills a hype gap in Asus' lineup
KIe: GTA V doubles in framerate, but it already ran at 60 on deck
CHaving owned two steam controllers since the final sale: I would probably buy the Deck OLED just because Valve designed the controls
XI want to try to use my ally for a crazy idea for a voice controlled AR PC
KMeanwhile games like Returnal run worse than the deck at native res
KAnd despite double the wattage are still under 30
Mdon’t even get me started on that fucking nightmare of a port
Mwhich sucks because I love the game
CI haven't seen it, probably never will, unless my local furry nerd friend buys it, but cmon, even cheap crappy oleds look so much better (remember pentile?)
Balso why is the cursor warmer on x11 than wayland when I turn on a night shifting service?
Jyeah that's my biggest problem with the competitors to the deck, they cross the 15W barrier, I don't like that, I have a PC, I want bang for the buck power-wise.
XI can't get the Z1 extreme to pull less than 10 watts
MI’m a little surprised Valve hasn’t shipped HDR in Remote Play yet tbh
Xit's trivial to get the deck to run at 5 watts
Bi'd also like something to play games on, since i got an apple silicon mac from my university
KIt's sun damage from being left out since the 1980s
CI haven't really researched the other handhelds - which ones, if any other than the Deck, have touch pads?
Xlegion go
Xthat's it
COof
KI hope that improves, it's honestly amazing how well they've managed to translate x86 so far
CIs like they made these bloody things for me
Bive been running asahi on it, its pretty fuckin good 
Xhowever if you go full into the ally ecosystem including the GPU dock, I can see it being a very nice experience
Bmight be a better option to play trackmania nations than macos when vulkan comes around
Xbecause it'd be a decent little portable PC
KWhen we get the chance I'm definitely going to do an arm bazzite
CConfigurable touch pads are the way to go for certain games
KIf only so I can show it on a switch as a really dumb flex
Bid love to just see ublue asahi imho
Bwhat would arm bazzite run on?
Bnvidia's demo arm laptops?
KI would do asahi as a base
Jwe just need a volunteer to finish it
Jthere's an asahi thread in ublue-dev
Bmaybe asahi distrobox images would be nice
Bjust like toolbox images with asahi's mesa drivers included
CI have a Mac, no consoles, yeah, my 15 Pro Max can run Ray Tracing and shit, but I ain't gonna play with my phone, I'm mostly at home, but running a console or video game at full screen while working, it distracts me, so a device that has enough battery life for when I commute, and can up the watts when it's connected while I'm at home, sign me up baby
KWe already build a shitload of packages ourselves, I'm happy to do an arm native game scope
KThat would leave only steam and the games as translated
MReady for Death Stranding DC 
CUp top! I adore MacOS tho, I use it for work so I can risk my lil baby, and I don't think you can install Asahi on an external drive, and I only have 256 gigs
