Looks better than the Steam Deck, tbh.

Once again, the Z1 extreme version is a possible buy if you don't have a steam deck already and you have $700 to kill. The regular Z1 version will be less powerful than steam deck for more money.

The Z1 extreme version seems to be up my alley as long as it's more powerful than the Steam Deck (otherwise, I won't get it).

Just look at rog ally benchmarks, it (legion go) will be mostly similar to that, although I'd wait for reviews just in case.

Does the Asus Rog Alley not have Linux support?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rog Ally gets windows by default and you have to do some bios stuff to get Linux to install. Including disabling secure boot, etc. I've seen some proof of concept installs of Nobara, Ubuntu, HoloISO and ChimeraOS, but last I checked, none of them is particularly stable yet.

Any Linux on rog ally is community supported, not official.

I'd be interested if there was a way to keep all the cool hardware features in Linux. The built in mouse and detachable controllers is a game changer imo. One of the most innovative handhelds we've seen so far

Actually... You can use Linux on Steam Deck and other devices like the Odin 2, for example.

I suspect that you'll be able to use Linux here as well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but I'm concerned that the detachable controllers and mouse on the controller may require proprietary drivers.

That's a good point.
