  • Here are my thoughts on why windows 11 is actually not bad on handheld PC's and what using windows is like on both the ROG ALLY and the Steam Deck. #ASUS #steamdeck #Windows11

    As someone that has the SteamDeck and the ROG Ally, I gotta say we are living in beautiful times for handled gaming. Both of these devices are amazing in their own ways. I kept Linux on the deck and got the Ally for windows. I gotta say that the Ally certainly isn’t for everyone. This device is really only for people that know their way around windows and understands technology. I would recommend the steam deck for most people but I prefer the ally, because I’m tech savvy and like being able to tinker.

      100% agree with you on this. I don't have the Steam Deck, but I have enjoyed "tinkering" with the Ally as well. It's amazing being able to play just about anything from the couch with pretty good settings and 60+ FPS gaming. I have 100% enjoyed the system, but I can definitely see how it wouldn't be for everyone.

    By far the best review and comparison I seen on here so many people on here are trying to start up some kind of crazy console war with these handhelds and while I understand and enjoy the competition it starting to become lowkey toxic!! 😂😂 both have they advantages and disadvantages and we should just appreciate both of them and how amazing technology has changed gaming throughout the years this was a good down to earth video I knew you wouldn’t disappoint when you made your purchase and im glad you’re enjoying it mane! 🔥

    Awesome review man……the new update to hand held companion makes the the software experience pretty comparable to the rog ally. You can change refresh rate ,tdp,toggle on and off controller and all kinds of hot keys. All on the fly with a quick access menu.Just recently installed it and windows on my steam deck and it’s actually been pretty awesome.

    • @Misaac
      @Misaac  Год назад

      Yeah handheld companion for sure adds a nice layer of accessibility. I just had issues with its controller compatibility in games in the past. But I know they’ve tweaked it over time so I’ll have to update it for sure and check it out. I thought HC was worth mentioning since it does add that extra layer of ease to to the deck, it’s just not part of the default windows experience on deck but then again nothing about having windows on the deck is default lol. But thanks for watching and giving me your feedback on HC! Appreciate it.

    Just installed Windows 11 on the steam deck internal SSD, then installed a better version of the wifi driver. Paired with handheld companion, been running dying light 2 35-40fps low settings and monster hunter world 45fps medium settings. Using both trackpads to navigate windows and it's working stable and beautiful. once you unlock the Hz with a simple program, you can change all those settings on the fly with Handheld companion. Also using boosteroid is awesome on the deck

    I found that I had to use Windows on my SD most of the time to play even some of my Steam Games. It was a very glitchy experience and the 3rd party programs I had to use were glitchy at best and broken at worst. The Steam deck is mean to be played as a console for retro emulations and compatible Steam Games.

      I 100% disagree, had mine a year and havnt had problems playing or dealing with it, much easier to use, I'm sorry you didn't get to learn it more, I have mine modded and with a ton of plugins, I havnt dealt with any glitches, only great performance, with way better ease of use then windows. You really just need to learn steam os, I had all my launchers set up, and all I needed was 2 separate launch hubs for all of them. Oh, and I mainly play triple a games on mine, it can easily handle a big majority of those too, indie games are even easier with high frame rates.

    Much rather have to do a little set up at first and then have a functional windows handheld then every time I want to load mods or some things having to jump through crazy hoops and even then some things like Blish hud on GW2 just does not work well do to how overlays work on Linux.

      Pro tip.. don't use the SD. SSD 1tb is a must for it to run faster. And I recommend windeck. It's a debloated version of Windows. It's not Linux... It's windows modified. But it's really rea good! But if you don't work with music, or multiplayer games stuff and use a one machine for all, yeah you don't need windows. Also if you don't use opera GX XD

My only concern is buggy software and comfort. But yet again, Windows for the Deck is not even official, so the experience it will be kinda the same if not better on the Ally. What do you feel about the ergonomics? How does it compare to the Deck while holding it?

      the ergonomics I have to make a video about like I said at the end of this one. The comfort level is something to adapt to for sure.

I still think HC is a great tool to have for a variety of other reasons.

I had mine setup to basically be a desktop profile by default and then if I held menu for three seconds it would convert to an Xbox setup. End of the day though this is the kind of stuff you have to deal with running a steam deck on windows.

      The Ally is more powerful so it runs warzone better than the steam deck can and there’s also the fact that you need windows to play warzone which means that’s a whole extra step of getting windows on your system if you go the steam deck route. Both can play the game. 1 better than the other but also more expensive. Of cost doesn’t matter the ALLY is the better choice.

    Was waiting for this comparison for too long, cuz most game devs relegate gaming on Linux to being an absolute fucking joke, which can make multiplayer gaming on the Steam deck extremely difficult at best and impossible at worst. I don't see the game devs' opinion on Linux changing any time soon, so installing Windows on the Steam Deck's likely gonna be the closest thing to the Steam Deck receiving long-term support in terms of supported games, and you also have access to GOG offline installers along with the -Chivalry 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3 launcher- Epic Games Launcher

    As a windows engineer, windows is a terrible OS for handhelds, shoe horned onto a device. Asus support sucks and armory crate on my $2k laptop is a POS, would not trust them to support the user in anything. I find people that use windows are naive and not technical, its just they only know windows somewhat and new tech makes them fearful.

      El Rog Ally tiene mejor graphics pero viene con sus problemas. Yo tenido el Steam Deck dested Julio 22 y yo he jugado Elden Ring, Witcher 3, Division 2, GTA IV, GTA V, FIFA 22, Metro Exodus, Metal Gear 5, Grounded, Hitman 1-3... Y todos juegan bien en el Steam Deck. Si quieres un Handheld (equipo electronico de mano) que puede jugar juegos como Fortnite, warzon, or Apex es mejor el Rog Ally para eso. Si juegas solo y no esta en interenet es bueno el tal steam deck. Lo siento escribir tanto, quiero que sepas todo la informacion.

    Steam OS to me is just so much better than windows, its easy asf to use and really streamlines gaming on a pc, i couldnt imagine putting windows on it when steam os is just so much better, if compatibility becomes less of an issue, steam os would be the top OS for gaming, hands down..

    • @Misaac
      @Misaac  Год назад +2

      Compatibility is an existing issue so I refuse to use it. You’re right it’d be more viable for gamers if it wasn’t an issue but it is. Therefore it’s not better for my use case scenario.

      I recently bought ROG Ally and left the Steam Deck collecting dust in my drawers. As nice and polished as Steam OS is, nothing beats having Windows 11 to run all my games without dealing with compatibility issues and anti-cheat software not working on Linux. I saw myself using the Ally a lot more than the Deck because I could play games I didn't own on Steam and could play MWII that I HAVE on Steam but Steam Deck can't run it because of anti-cheat software not supported. I have since returned the Ally as I just wanted to test it and try it out but wow I feel the need to wipe my Steam Deck and install Windows 11 on it...

    • @JDabz96
      @JDabz96 Год назад

      @algebruh_m8652 I mean, windows has a lot more problems than steam os, only issue with steam os is compatibility, and that's because of microsofts monopoly, once that gets fixed in the future, windows will be obsolete for gaming, and the only games I can't play are certain anti cheat games.

    • @Misaac
      @Misaac  Год назад

      @@JDabz96 in his case switching to windows makes sense if he’s going to play games he can’t play at all on SteamOS. Especially after using the Ally and realizing he’d want to play those missing games on a handheld. Sure there might be issues (none that have stopped me from enjoying my games) but at least he won’t be locked out of part of his library. Again, for as long as compatibility remains an issue SteamOS to me, and many others is obsolete.

    The answer is simple get the ally! Did you ever use the track pad on a switch? No! So why care about it. Also 4 core VS an 8 core can't compete! Ally ftw amd smoother experience overall. I own both my deck is useless now.

      its literally the same battery, its just like a car you can get the small motor less performance ,more mpg, or the big motor more performance, less mpg. it all depends on the games you like and the quality of display you are ok with. steam deck was buggy as hell on launch too. personally ill take less battery life and higher performance.

    I would be miserable using Windows on any of these. Heck, I would be miserable using Windows on my desktop computer even. I feel like people use Windows mostly out of familiarity or because they are invested in Windows with things like "games pass". But honestly, Windows have become an objectively bad desktop OS over the years. (especially for private users) And I can't even begin to express how much joy I have found in computers again after switching to Linux full-time. There's honestly nothing I miss with Windows these days.

    • @Misaac
      @Misaac  Год назад +3

      Simple. Don’t be miserable. Don’t use it. Use what you like. I’ll use what I like. We all have reasons for why we use and like what we do. Those reasons are not the same for all of us. Objectively, games + devs and their anti cheats don’t always play nice with Linux but do with windows. It’s that simple. I’m going to play where I’m allowed to play. I don’t care about convincing others to use what I’m using I simply share what I use and why. It’s ok for people to disagree with me. I’m not the one using their device or playing their games. You’d also be less miserable if you weren’t paying so much attention to how everyone else uses their tech. Especially if you can’t understand their POV. Keep an open mind, stay positive, and enjoy your games 😌

      ​@@Misaac Yeah, I mean, I totally agree with you. It's just a shame that Microsoft has such a tight grip on the market right now... Because ultimately, what I would like to promote is more choice, more user freedom. I can understand why people feel the need to use Windows. Heck I still dual boot to Windows only to play VR on my HP Reverb G2 (which requires Windows Mixed Reality)...
      What sucks in today's PC landscape is that Windows is the "only" option to a lot of people, and that kind of monopoly isn't very good for the open-ended nature of the PC industry as a whole. The killing blow for me has really become the targeted ads, data collection and forced services that has become an integral part of Microsofts strategy with Windows. It feels wrong needing to buy a license for an OS only to get served ads, services etc. Especially since it really mostly benefit Microsoft rather than myself as an end-user. But soon enough people will forget what the PC industry once was.
      You know, I am old goat in my 40s, and clearly remember the time of 8-bit-, 16-bit, and 32-bit PCs that were not IBM compatibles (Like Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, Amiga). Back then you had so much choice and unique flavors in the PC markets. These days it's just a Microsoft and Apple Duopoly. This is why I think Linux needs to grow as an OS, since it embraces what the PC platform stands for. "Personal" Computer.

    • @Misaac
      @Misaac  Год назад

      @@PixelShade You made some good points. I get where you and many others are coming from about the whole wanting a more open end and private experience. I’ve said in the past that I understand why people like Linux and I could see how it is a great OS for those who are going to take advantage of the things it offers. I personally just don’t care enough or feel the need to manipulate/alter an OS. Mainly because everything I’ve wanted to do has been doable via windows whereas certain things I’ve wanted to play on Linux, I haven’t been able to. Which is contrasting to what you and many others try to promote. What good is freedom when I can’t boot up my favorite game without the fear of being banned? I get this isn’t necessarily the OS at fault but instead how devs, games, and anti cheat software are supported or work with the OS but it’s still the reality of things when choosing to game on Linux.
      I also think there are better ways to inform people on why Linux is viable and why people should consider trying it out. The best way to promote any sort of message is showing what you’re supporting in action and why you’re choosing to do so. That way people can relate and reciprocate. Linux users especially elitists like to criticize and assume that other peoples experience is inferior before informing or giving reasons as to why things are better or how that particular person might benefit from using the OS. Aggressively Throwing general statements is not going to get through to people. Assuming that the opposing opinion is wrong by default without understanding the reasons is the majority of the problem and it’s what I see most of. For people that want to promote something so badly, they sure make themselves unapproachable. Makes no sense.
      Maybe if Linux users gave insight/feedback by providing options to particular situations they could see the opposing user benefiting from, People would actually learn things and get curious and want to discover whatever there is to be discovered.
      I have always promoted the ability to choose. I never say that my way is the only way because at the end of the day we all think differently and can choose what we want to use and why. I share my choices and don’t expect everyone to agree with me. I do it so people can gain perspective and because I know others will relate to what I’m sharing. I said alot here but it’s because I know maybe others will read this and gain some perspective as well. It’s also nice having a normal conversation without turning it into an all out fanboy brawl.
