power wise this blows steam deck out of the water. plus i can pirate windows games on it, saving me more money. im gonna let the early adopters do the beta testing for me though. i also probably dont need something like this cause im not traveling that much. also, emulating switch games on it will probably help so many switch games.

You can also pirate games on the steam deck to be fair.
i didnt realize it has linux. its much easier and straight forward on windows unfortunately. the screen on the Legion should be pretty awesome. im probably a year off from being able to afford either one anyways.
It's not hard to put Windows on a steam deck
You can and you should
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?
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.
Ah I see.
Video's duration is: 5:22.
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.
Yes, but I'm concerned that the detachable controllers and mouse on the controller may require proprietary drivers.
That's a good point.
