    Unfortunately it doesn’t really work that way. Those distros need to be adjusted to work properly with the hardware. For instance, if you got a ROG Ally and slapped Chimera on there you would have no sound, no WiFi, and you have to manually adjust the resolution for each game.

    This would be a fairly trivial task for Asus or Lenovo, so I don’t really understand why they don’t do it, but they don’t.

      Have you actually installed chimera on the rog or are you just dredging up old linux problems that aren’t true anymore like how Nvidia fanboys say AMD drivers don’t work on Linux to this day despite AMD having higher compatibility?

        No. I have not. I don’t have an Ally. But these are issues mentioned in Chimera’s own documents, among others. So I assume that they’re not fabricating issues with their own software.

        They may be outdated, but the point stands.

        I’ve never heard anyone say Nvidia has better compatibility with Linux. Usually the opposite.

      Nobara Linux has a Steam Deck edition (basically with gamescope-session and KDE), and I believe it includes patches for complete compatibility with the ROG Ally.
