ASUS ROG Ally X, put Linux on it, and you get by all the horrible Windows bloat that makes it crap. It's great hardware, just the "X-Box" branding and Microslop OS that's a problem.
I've heard that it's really unstable, even if it runs more efficiently with Linux. Custom hardware like that often needs customized drivers to work right. Maybe one day someone will get it working well, though.
Bazzite has an image specifically for it, and I'm running stock Debian Trixie on my ROG Flow tablet with no issues, don;t own the Ally X yet but I'm definitely looking it it over the Ally or any other as I want to run my own install not a Valve image and the Ally X uses a normal 2280 M.2 rather than the 2230 (which maxes at 2TB) my current ROG Flow or the Steam Deck does.
Yeah I read an article from a few months ago related to putting Bazzite on it (the 2025 version anyway), and the main complaint was the stability as well as minor complaints about the lack of support for some features and having to manually configure some buttons requiring some technical knowledge. It did mention that once it was mostly working it was significantly faster. But not usable as a gaming device quite yet. Not sure how much improvement has happened, but I expect that it will take quite a while to work out the kinks since it's partly proprietary hardware not really designed for alternate OSes.
Ah, I tend to soo all the configuring myself, half my stuff on the tablet I compiled from source.
Bazzite looked like good project, not for me as I loathe immutable distros, but I did run it via emulation and found the setup to be very straightforward and consoley. Turned me off, completely, but their attempt to simplify things and even using an immutable so it's a lot harder to irrevocably break anything was a step in the right direction for making things "simple" for the people I can;t get to verify their chat fingerprint in Gajim.
