The ROG Ally X leaks, with twice the battery of the original and way more RAM (arstechnica.com)

Would it be possible to use something else, like Bazzite or Nobara? Serious question, idk if it has some sort of mechanism that would prevent this sort of thing.

You would still have paid about $100 for a shitty Widows license, though.

The licenses are more likely $30, not the retail price that we pay. They might have also gotten a deal with Microsoft to make them even cheaper/free to help them compete with the Steam Deck.

Maybe. I'm just going by the price difference in Dell laptops with and without Windows.

Bazzite has Ally images available. ChimeraOS should work as well. I don't have an Ally, so no idea on how well they work.
