Rog ally was an idea at the time I was buying my deck. People told me I should get it instead because it was more popular and ran windows so it would be directly supported by games. I'm so glad I did not buy into that, the oled deck is fantastic. My hands go numb playing it, or watching movies. Sure put steamos on the Ally, but...

because it was more popular

Meanwhile the Deck is outselling all other handheld PCs combined

What's wild is that there are people who bought the Steam Deck and immediately put Windows on it. Didn't even try SteamOS.

If you know that you want to play a game that only runs on Windows?

It's their device, I never tried Windows on the notebooks I bought in recent years either
