       Important bit from The Verge's article:> Speaking of rivalries, Microsoft may have also precluded the ROG Ally’s SteamOS possibilities: “our partner for this device is Microsoft, it’s primarily made as a Windows device, and it’s made only as a Windows device,” says Krohn.So Microsoft did make a pact with Asus for this device. #rogally #hardware #windows #microsoft

       @boilingsteam Idunno, gonna be exciting to see what benchmarks with Windows vs SteamOS on the device will be like 🤔

       @bloodaxe of course games will run better but thats just a tiny part of the experience. If the OS sucks it will feel sub par in many ways

       @boilingsteam This is more than a bit frustrating, if only because I was really *really* hoping for better XBGP support on the Deck. 😐 Seems pretty unlikely if this is the direction MS is choosing to take.

       @arcticEdge what else did you expect from Microsoft ?  That they love Linux ?  That was just bad PR from day 1

       @boilingsteam Not sure what I expected. I suppose I was just feeling naive and unrealistically hopeful after they made that smol amount of effort to have Edge and XCloud play nice with the Deck. :/

       @boilingsteam yeah, reading between the lines Asus made a deal with MS with sense to fight SteamOS.Cue people saying Microsoft is ok with open source in 3, 2, 1.

       @boilingsteam @bloodaxe couldn't someone install Holoiso after buying the device?

       @bloodaxe @boilingsteam I can understand the caveat that it won't be as optimized as steamos is for the Deck but it would still be interesting
