This thing is flawless.
>windowslol
>>724078820I think I'm getting one. My steam deck is already chugging. Redpill me on it
>if you le pay twice as much for your le handheld it is le better!wow
>>724078858Doesn't that mean that, unlike the Steam Cuck, it can run every single game without worrying about compatibility issues?
>>724078858Linux is for poorfags. All the cracks run great without all the faggy file directories and Wine and all the other bullshit. I love my XAX
>$999
>>724078990>filters thirdies
>>724078914I like mine. People are bitching about the screen, but I don’t get it. I grew up with having to use flashlights with my og gameboy, so to me it looks amazing.
>>724078820You realize people buy this and just install steam on it right?
>>724078961No, old games tend to shit themselves on newer versions of windows (7 -> ). Not an issue when using proton
>>724079132It comes pre-installed with Steam so you're just lying
>>724079196So how are "steamcucks btfo" if they're playing steam games on it
I got a Legion Go for $500 open box. The performance gain I'd get for the upgrade isn't worth another $500. Maybe next gen.
>>724079353But not on a Steam console
>>724079414The console is functionally useless without steam. Valve wins regardless.
uhhh... winsisisters... we still good?
>>724078820it sure is saar
>>724078914Eh, I am enjoying mine. I am in a weird in-between phase where my pc sucks but I dont want to upgrade or build a new one for another year or two. So I've been mostly playing on my deck and now on this.
>>724079141Why would I spend money on something like the Steam Cuck just to play old as fuck games?
>>724078949This but unironically.
>>724080182>runs 50% less games
so, legit question. im in the market for a handheld pc. should i get the ally x, legion go 2 or claw 8 ai+ turbo hyper fighting the new challengers?
>>724080662>playing spyware anticheat shooter slop on a handheldcan't wait for valve to grow linux to the point where cuckshooter devs are forced to support it because it never was about cheating to begin with
>>724080782go 2 on the basis of it not being anus or intel based
>>724080782If you dont care about money, go 2. But at that price you might as look at strix devices. If you want lol Intel, the claw. Otherwise the ally x.
>>724080830I played wuchang on it and it was great. Can steam deck even run wuchang?
>>724081725this is about linux, not the deckyou can shove cachyos or bazzite or whatever gamer distro onto that thing and it'll run better due to how hostile the windows bloat is to low power devices
>>724078820that console is only appealing to indians.white men play on the elegant deck.
>>724078820Where are the track pads?How can you quickly build in factorio without trackpads?How do you play point and click adventures?First person shooters?
>>724078820>$1000>Windows>buggy as sin>SteamOS works better>barely much of a jump from the Steam Deck>Microsoft Store so no games>no other store is optimized for it>sleep mode is busted>thick and heavy>looks ugly>no trackpadsStop shilling, Xbot
>>724080782You should get a Steam Deck or wait for the Steam Deck 2 in late 2027.
>>724078858Installing bazzite on it improves performance of games. It only serves to make the performance gap between the Ally and Deck even bigger.
>>724083030>store needs to be optimized for itWut???
Ick?
>>724082492Same way you play them on consoles granpa
>>724080586Why spend money on video gayms at all?
>>724080586i don't think you understand what the word cuck even means when you're shilling for microsoft
>>724078820>If you open up anything but the XFSE, Steam, or other minor stuff you have to restart the system entirely because it heavily eats into your performance due to it starting up a bunch of background tasks that are disabled at launch.>XFSE is just a full screen version of the Xbox app that already comes with windows.>The system updates Windows or games in the background while you are playing games which then begins to introduce performance problems due to it writing to the disk.>This also causes games in general to play worse because Windows will be occasionally opening up stuff in the background as you play to do various tasks it has to do which will again eat into your performance.>You still need to go through the entire Windows 11 setup including all the bloatware it installs from Microsoft despite it being meant for gaming.>Sleep is Windows sleep meaning you have to sign in every time you put it to sleep and it takes several seconds to wake it.>Despite being called an Xbox it can't play any Xbox games, only Play Anywhere games aka PC games meaning Microsoft is relying on people not researching what the device is an hoping they buy it because of brand recognition thinking they'll get to play Lost Odyssey on their handheld Xbox.>The Rog Xbox Ally is even worse than the Steam Deck OLED despite being priced $100 more than it.>No trackpads, they want you to rely entirely on the Windows touch screen experience which is notoriously terrible even with the improvements they made with the XFSE.>The only thing people are even praising it for is the ergonomics and constantly bringing up the $1000 price point.>>724080586A handheld PC is for emulation and backlog killing, not AAA gaming or even high-end gaming. You are in for a rude awakening if that's what you want unless you're willing to spend $1000+ for these things and watch them get very quickly obsoleted in a year or two with massive caveats or being tethered to a wall to even play stuff decently.
>>724079141every game that matters runs perfectly on windows 11you're coping with a small list of abandonwarealso there's no need to stick to old games on this handheld, because unlike the deck, this can actually run new games
>>724083923linux threads are the only places where /v/tards admit to being inseparable from GaaS shooter slop with security violating anticheats lmaoeven the ally x suffers from windows bloat you mongyou need actual desktop hardware to see benefits where it powers through the bloat
>>724078820>no trackpads
I just got the steam deck oled. Pretty cool but waste of money ngl. Fuck paying twice that for this. I like playing on my pc or big picture on my 77" oled more.But I'll keep it for comfy emulated Japanese games in bed
>>724078820now listen, if i were payed well in skin drops by valve i would shill for them and tell you that you are wrong... and you are wrong, but this time around the valve shill paycheck did not arrive, so i do not have to protect a multi-billion dollar company. >although you are wrong and this is my opinion, i just wish to be paid to tell you this .
>>724078820>>724080586stop gargling on your cock faggot
>>724082124Have you tried playing wuchang on the deck? I was under the impression it barely runs.Also you can just put bazzite on the ally.
>>724078820all it needed was installing SteamOS on it
>>724078820Oh yes, gabe is gonna be mad when you'll buy steam games on this thing, he's gonna lose so much...
portable pc gaming is a meme
>>724083286Games on the Microsoft Store will get verified, games on other stores are working through Windows not the Xbox full screen experience, do the math.
>>724084837read the post chain againthis is about linux
>>724085354but it's literally the most relevant it's ever been and it'll only grow
>>724085354no it rocks
>>724085354It's basically what the console handheld space was in the late 80s and 90s. One company releases something unique, the others try to copy and surpass it only to fail because they couldn't understand what said company did to achieve their success. Powerfags try to claim other handhelds are better only for those handhelds to crash hard in a pit of fire while the one that changed everything continues to gain success over all.
>>724078858it really does ruin everything it touches
>>724078820>ASUS>MicrosoftA match made in hell
>>724085581So steam on your pc is unoptimized because games arent verified, unless youre using a deck. Got it.
he's got a rog!
>handheldThe next special olympics of gaming now that consoles are roping themselves?
>>724086750Yup
>>724085354Steam Deck completely replaced PC gaming for me, I genuinely never want to go back. And it's especially good for replaying older games that were not made for modern resolutions.
>>724078820>no touch padsAHahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
>>724078820Got it! Gotta say its 100x better than the Xbox MetaQuest. My wife played it waiting in the abortion clinic this morning and had nothing but good things to say about it.
>>724078820>turn on Xbox ally rog nog x>Microsoft Teams shortcut
>>724078820>no trackpads>flawlessThe damn thing it's fucking useless.
>>724083918>handheld PC is for emulation and backlog killing, not AAA gaming or even high-end gamingbetter to buy a tablet and put a controller on it
>>724089674Tablets are significantly weaker and cost as much if not more to reach the same level of strength, Winlator sucks ass, Android emulators are garbage especially the higher up the generations you go, and having to use Android seriously for emulating compared to Linux or Windows is cancer.
>>724078961No it means your battery life is awful, Windows is trying to spy on you by flipping on Copilot bullshit whether it's in experimental/beta or not, Windows tries to bundle Teams and other bloatware bullshit in with your Xbox app update, and you paid way too much for an existing ROG Ally with worse ergonomics and Xbox branding while Microsoft chokes on its own mismanagement and incompetence
>bazzite faggots at it againUse. A. Real. Distro.
>>724090394like?steamos and clones are already just a curated arch distro
Serious question for anybody who owns one of these:How much does the angled screen make playing this a pain if you're leaning back on a couch or laying in bed?Even on the Ally X I felt like I had to hold the device at an awkward angle to see the screen when laying down and playing, and I worry with the screen angled upwards it's gonna be even worse
