How do you play on your Ally? (self.ROGAlly)

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!

Sounds like you mostly play natively on the Ally? Also, what did you pick Mint for as opposed to one of the other distros?

[–] Stormy1701@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I play everything natively on the Ally. I have a PS Portal if I want to stream games.

I picked Mint because it’s the most beginner friendly to someone who has never used Linux before.
