Unless it has touch pads, at least four back buttons, and runs SteamOS, I do not want any such thing.
I'm good with the steam deck
@twistypencil me too
We don't, I already have a steam deck. Touchpads.
The more devices running Linux, the more games and launchers that will support Linux. I wouldn't want to buy a SteamOS ROG Ally, but I definitely want it to exist.
Rising tide lifts all boats, my dude. More people using Linux means Linux gets better.
This is a steam deck forum though.
@theunknownmuncher agreed
After their shit about the Phone unlock tool I would rather not buy Asus in the first place..
Just completed it.
Honestly it blows my mind they would run windows on a device like this in the first place.

It's called Steam Deck!Done, thanks. I hit them pretty hard on Linux but moreso on customer/warranty support. They have a longstanding and well-earned reputation for trying to screw their customers after sale.
Charging to unlock the bootloader on the Zenfone 10 after dragging their feet on the promised solution was the last straw for me. I completed the survey putting good customer service level with SteamOS support
Done, thank you for sharing!
I pointed out that the OS, trackpads and ergonomics are my main focus. Honestly, more Linux devices would be a win! Even if it ships with Windows but there’s an easy, official way to get Linux on the thing that’d be great.
I would rather not waste money on a Windows license I am not going to use.
(Not that I would buy an Ally, I already have a SteamDeck.)
Agreed 100%, I’m happy with my 4th quarter 64gb Deck (after the ssd upgrade XD ), however choice and diversity is good. If Windows is considered a selling point, and a Linux version would have to be a separate SKU, reducing availability? Giving the option to buy the single Windows SKU, and maybe downloading an official tool that installs Linux with all the necessary drivers would be better than having to justify a separate, likely less popular SKU. Plus while neither of us is interested in the Ally, other people will have different tastes. Let companies make all shapes and performance/price options for everyone :D
I’m doing my part!
Same. I don't see how this could be a bad thing for steam OS and the naysayers are out in force.
I don't really see what it would do that SD doesn't.
I love my Steam Deck, but I can barely play most games on low settings and I get like 40-50 FPS with a 90Hz screen.
We need more powerful hardware. I'd prefer that it comes from Valve, but I'll take what I can get, as long as it's optimized for SteamOS/Linux.
I play most games on my streak deck at high settings, not sure I get where you are coming from
The egpu would be compelling if it didn't lock you in to proprietary hardware.
I could ditch my gaming PC if I could dock it and play at 4k.
Bsods and user tracking.
@endeavor exactly
But...but...but...linux gamers are haxors

Probably going to happen regardless of survey, since Lenovo is doing it
