The Linux coders turning the ROG Ally and other handhelds into Steam Deck clones
The Linux coders turning the ROG Ally and other handhelds into Steam Deck clones
It's not an easy process, but it's getting close to a nearly full SteamOS feel.
Coders? Isn't all that it takes is to load holoiso into a flash drive and install it on the ally?
There are firmware fixes and such that need to be implemented, so yes, coders.
I bet some of the things in the Ally need new drivers that aren't in the Kernel yet.
Yup, as a software dev myself, I doubt anyone is really putting any development effort into it. Maybe a little config to map the controller properly or something, but it's close enough hardware-wise that there really shouldn't be much work involved.
TLDR;
Handheld PC is a PC so you can install Linux aka HoloOS and it works as we'd expect.
