- Natively on default Windows?
- Natively on another OS like Bazzite?
- Streaming via Sunshine/Apollo/etc?
And as a follow up, why do you play that way?
I mostly stream to my Ally from my desktop via Sunshine - it can run almost anything at high settings on 1080p, and the Ally can be left on low power mode so the battery lasts forever.
I’ve left Windows installed on the Ally for maximum compatibility, but I’m playing around with the idea of a Linux distro because if I keep the desktop on Windows I can still play games that don’t like Linux.
Curious what the rest of you all do and why!
I’d like to change my answer.
I removed Windows 11 in favour of Bazzite. No dual-booting and no Windows.
I’m very impressed how well Windows games run on Linux, it’s like witchcraft. Plus pcsx2 seems to perform a good deal better once Windows is out of the picture.
How’s the support for the Ally hardware in Bazzite? The controller, LEDs - stuff you’d m, by default, manage in Armoury Crate
The rear right button brings up a menu that allows control of the LEDs, power mode, fan curve and a few other things.
When you download it you download a build specifically for the Ally and Ally X.
I’ve installed quite a few games from Steam, Epic and GOG and the only two that won’t work are Assetto Corsa and Cyberpunk 2077.
