I have the original Ally and a Windows laptop for one reason: I can't play Destiny on Linux. That's my main game. I don't want to get my account suspended for playing on Linux. So, I deal with Windows, even though it sucks.

I get that windows sucks, but having used both the screen on the ROG is just sooooo much better. Text looks much more crisp and I do have the option to run some other launchers and games I couldn't on the deck. Also the download speeds are way faster for some reason.

This is why I want supported ports of SteamOS to the competitor devices

Fun fact, there's an advanced dev option on the steam deck to not power limit the WiFi card and it downloads 5-10x faster if you disable the power savings in my experience

Is the OLED deck competition?
