Windows plays every PC game in existence and plays them better though. It also allows you to use the device as a pc replacement via displaying the screen on a tv/monitor. It’s the best OS to go with imo.
Windows makes deck more like a laptop. No comfortable ui/sleep, so it's like steam deck with everything good taken away but with compatibility.
I'll take compatibility over sleep mode tbh. Most people play their steam decks at home anyway, so battery life isn't an issue.
The ROG Ally isn't like a laptop at all either. The difference is that you can use it as a PC if you want, unlike the steam deck running steamOS.
...I can use steamOS like a PC if I want. It's an arch-based KDE desktop with steam on it. I can do whatever I want to do.
When was the last time you used Linux, 2008, lmao?
I clarified in other comments - people want windows as their pc, not Linux. The ROG Ally doubles as a full blown Windows PC. SteamOS is Linux as you know, and that’s not the OS of choice for the overwhelmingly large majority of the population.
I don't, why are you speaking for 7 billion people?
Because one look at desktop OS market share proves my point.
Didn't say you can't, I said that it doesn't give you a PC with an OS that the overwhelming majority of people want to use - windows.
