Recent patch notes sounded like they might be hinting at upcoming ROG Ally support, but it’s now confirmed.
Great news! The more devices running SteamOS the better
This will make that device so much more usable.
As long as you don’t use the sd card slot
This is so exciting, very happy for Ally owners. Choice is a strength of PC ecosystem, and I’m confident SteamOS experience is going to win over many users. It’s a great upgrade.
Edit-
“And it’s not like Valve is suggesting it’ll offer SteamOS for rival handhelds anytime soon, either”
Oh :( I thought this was further along than it is… got excited.
It would make the Ally usable. Windows holds it back a ton because it’s a trash OS.
There’s still some hardware issues to contend with. Like the fact that it fries SD cards due to poor card slot placement… and the control stick bug…
Let’s just say my wife has one and we recently got her a Steam Deck instead. I had to replace one of the sticks on the Ally and still had problems. She also can’t use the SD card slot at all. It’s flawed hardware with potential (after a couple revisions).
Hell yes! More Linux more better!
@ipha @Fubarberry u wonder when or if at all well get a desktop version thats as easy to install as installing steam os on the steam deck is
