I’m looking to buy the steam deck or simply the Ally X and put Bazzite on it. Does anyone here have any experience with Bazzite on the Ally?

I’m not quite sure the Ally X is worth it as it’s about 25% more expensive then the deck and it seems to have a smaller screen though it does have VRR.

It seems battery life is pretty comparable but it seems the Ally X has better performance but, again, is it worth it? I do have a pretty powerfull PC at home (9700X with 6800xt) that I guess I could always remote play or simply go sit at the desk.

I don’t play any recent AAA games, the most demanding I would play would probably be Witcher 3 or Red dead redemption 2 (haven’t started yet).

I do however like to play games the likes of Banished or Factorio and I’m worried that’s not going to be possible without the touchpads on the steam deck.

I’m also worried about the longevity of the Ally X and access to spare parts and accessories.

    If you play latest AAA games and latest AAA games only, ally. Youre gonna love the rgb when you play the latest fifa and ubisoft copy paste on minimum.

    If you play whatever great stuff that’s been released these past 3 decades, whichever is cheaper and has the features you want. Personally I find the touchpads just insanely useful.
