ROG Ally has a virus (Windows) pre-installed and it's less optimized. Steam Deck feels like a console with the added desktop function. ROG Ally feels like a bad imitation of someone who wanted to fit a desktop PC in the handheld form. It's also about community, tinkering and Linux in general which makes me like the Steam Deck more
Absolutely. I definitely feel like the Steam Deck is better than the Ally. SteamOS is amazing, and the Deck's plethora of input options brings the gaming experience to the next level.
I wasn't sure if you were aware of the Ally, so I brought it up just to make sure you know what options you have. I would still recommend the Deck over the Ally any day of the week, though.
