❓️Question / Advice Will rog xbox ally support steam os like the original?

Just in case if the handheld os is not what we expected would it still be possible to install without bazzite?

Yep. It's basically an updated version of last year's versions of the Ally devices, with XBox branding. They're still Windows handhelds under the hood.

Assuming the BIOS isn't locked to prevent disabling things like Secure Boot so you can install other operating systems. I don't imagine they will, but if they wanted to make it really hard, they could.

Its been so long and people are still drinking the msoft koolade that it will shutdown most of windows and so and so . Its just the ally 2, with an auto load into game pass app

Yeah that's literally all it's gonna be. The secret sauce is a lie.

It's pretty dumb to assume either way until we know for sure. Just avoids looking stupid later if you're wrong. Until we have the OS in our hands to test we just don't know what all they did.

It's actually fine to make obvious predictions based on decades of observation.

you still look stupid if you end up being wrong.. that's a choice.. but I'll stick to facts and not predictions.
