    I’ll stick with the deck. I’d rather a Linux first approach and to support the people putting in the work.

      Agreed. It’s hard to believe anyone still recommends Asus after the whole GN debacle.

      Steam Deck has the OLED display, better efficiency/battery life, is hundreds of dollars cheaper, is supported by a company that actually cares about it’s customers, and doesn’t need to mess around with installing a different OS.

        If you’re in Asia, that debacle is a non-issue. Their support in Asia has been great for me. I’m on the Steam Deck camp but they’re still my go to for gaming laptops.

          Just because you haven’t personally experienced issues doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

            Not sure why you’re trying to invalidate the experiences of people in my region and me but sure whatever makes you happy.

      Agree. Asus never really put much of an effort to support Linux, for example, for the big companies, fwupd, we only see Dell and Lenovo support.
