other linux phones are not really viable. I dont like supporting apple and even if I didnt care about that, their iOS is far too restrictive.

I want a sub thats never really existed in any substantial form. There really dont seem to be any solid communities for cartoons that has any decent foot traffic. I still have /co/ bookmarked cuz its the only place on the internet i’ve seen that will discuss just about any kinda cartoons that are not anime… Granted that site is full of a bunch of awful people so I dont really engage, but its nice to see an active place where people care about non-anime animated content and I always wanted a sub for it. I actually tried to make one my self but there obviously wasnt enough intrest in it, not really sure how one would grow a sub and didnt really want to put in the work in my self anyway
I suppose, to be fair, I’ve not actually looked into any in a while, but its mostly the support, thats what I’ll follow for my daily driver. I cant imagine my bank apps will work with a linux phone, tachiyomi doesnt have a linux app. does the linux phones support nfc pay options? I’d be surprised if they did…
its just normal daily stuff that I want to make sure just works cuz its what every one is using. for my desktop/laptop I’ll use linux all the way cuz they dont have to interact with what every one else is using.
na. Valve made my dream handheld gaming system. Ally feels like it was rushed to market and just tried to throw shit together that PC gamers THINK they want in a handheld cuz its what they’re used to on a desktop. All the stuff I’ve heard from real users of the Ally have said most of the time you have to run at 720p anyway making the extra screen res useless. No way its running non-2d games at a consistent 120+ fps to take advantage of that refresh rate. the sleep wake functions not being more reliable, lack of intuitive UI…
it just seems like the ally is too much in all the wrong places, not enough in the places where it matters. valves choices seem to represent what actually works in a handheld system vs what Asus knew would just sound good in an advertisement and rushed that to market opposed to doing what would make sense cuz that would probably result in similar specs as the deck.
Just doesnt really have any real world advantages from what I can tell unless you want to connect it to a screen, but for $699 I can build a pretty nice mid range desktop to connect to my TV that would be better for that anyway.
then there is the fact that windows lets you play more games… maybe, maybe not. I loaded Splitgate on my deck the other day, a competitive FPS game and it made me realize: I dont think im really missing out on most of these multiplayer anti-cheat games on my deck. It just doesnt really feel like a device I even want to play multiplayer games with anyway. I can see people wanting it if the Ally or the SteamDeck was your ONLY window to PC gaming, but most things that require anti-cheat are competitive online games and I’d rather just play those at my desktop anyway.
so no, the Ally just doesnt make any sense to buy.
most people dont care, they just want to click on their memes

its a pretty solid box. I had it in a really nice low profile case, but the pci-e L-bracket riser/extender was causing some issues with the GPU’s uefi posting, took a while to figure that issue out. Moved it to some cheap aluminum case I had kick’n around that I got from a client, an old custom build case complete with an old molex fan control front panel knob system
I use Yuzu.
its pretty good, depends on the game of course.
I recently loaded Fire Emblem Engage, super mario oddosy, donkey kong tropical freeze, and both zelda BOTW and TOTK. I was running them on my steam deck so performance was so-so, some games better than others, all of them definitely playable though (except super mario sunshine, but that was one I tried probably almost a year ago, yuzu is better now)
emulation still proves to be the best way to play.
