NOnly 139 new since open box is not available is pretty good for a OLED display
EMaybe you’re just bad at looking up
Slol
ESpeaking of: this might’ve just overtaken the deck for best value handheld, price to performance wise
Swell I found brands offering cheaper products
NIs it the Z1 extreme?
EAnd yes that’s the Z1E
Sit's just that if I was looking for something specific they'd be more expensive
NDamn
EThis is also open box btw
ESkill issue probably
Sbruh
EBtw
EIs the Ally confidently recommendable for Bazzite yet
EOr is there better options still
Tlegion go
KLegion go is the best third party IMO
NLegion Go probably works better but the ally is not bad at all
NSadly the back buttons don’t work yet
Alegion go is 100% recommendable w/ bazzite. ROG Ally is pretty good, but there's still small quirks and bugs
EBetter than my Ayn Loki? I don’t really see any downsides it has compared to the deck
EThe back buttons being hard mapped to L3 R3 is an issue on the Loki regardless of OS
NAside from Sackboy recognising a keyboard from somewhere (idk how) I have/ had a blast with Bazzite on the ally
EAh rip
EBut yeah Loki on Bazzite has like… no quirks at all
EHaving to use a Decky plugin for TDP is hardly a quirk as it just works
NI’ll maybe buy a Orange Pi Neo because it looks ideal
NHope it has back buttons
LDo you have a list of quirks/issues for the ROG Ally?
KThere's an unfixable button issue that means holding left button + x doesn't work (but pressing one then the other does)
Kand there's an intermittent TDP reset we are looking into, annoying but easily fixed
Kthat's all as far as I'm aware
NAnd the back buttons are not mappable (yet)
Kthey are mappable
LIs there a case when that's ever needed? What is the "left button"?
Kopening the keyboard is Steam+X
LAh
Kin the Ally's case it's Steam, then X
LMakes sense
Kjust a funny quirk
LSo nothing horrible
LSounds like
LMy fiancee is using a ROG Ally. Windows is just so weird on a handheld, their implementation isn't bad for what it is, but man does it get hung up on some weird places. Very interested in moving her to Bazzite.
LGamepass is no longer really necessary for her because of Steams new family feature update. Gives her access to my 900+ games
Djw has she played or used steamos at all? im often curious to see how far the uninitiated can get without having to tinker so much
Tim actually curious too
Dmy brother is a big windows user, but he hates how much tinkering he has to do on steamos
Tespecially since you still have to use terminal commands to get decky plugins on bazzite
NHe can probably set it up for her
