Hah! Missed that one. Steam OS is the Steam Deck’s secret sauce. Even when you have to go into Desktop Mode, it’s okay without a KB+M. I wouldn’t want to use it as a laptop replacement without KB+M and maybe an external monitor mind you, but it’s usable.
I haven’t test driven an ROG Ally, but the though of Windows on a handheld fills me with dread for any interaction that devolves to the desktop.

Every time I see this thing I wonder wtf Asus was thinking when they neglected to put trackpads on it
I always think of the LTT review where he says you need it plugged in with a kb+m for it to be useable and that he recommends it over the Steamdeck
