@AbdulSamad-ek8xd 4 месяца назад

hows the battery backup ? better than windows?

@TiredTimelord 4 месяца назад

@AbdulSamad-ek8xd negligible change. Very game dependant and what you set your tdp to. The simple decky tdp isn't consistent either I set it to 20 and it still runs at 30 for example. I found that on armory crate also so I think it's very game dependant but the interface to see battery usage is just like the steam deck, performance statistics ect.

@pescadoacuatico 4 месяца назад

is it to hard to play windows pc? I used to play games on linux back in 2014 and I'm sure the game performance would probably have improved over the years but I'm still wondering

@TiredTimelord 4 месяца назад

@pescadoacuatico it's not hard but windows can be annoying, loaded with bloat ware and for every benefit it has it has an offsetting downside. I used to be a big tech head and I love tweaking game setting but honestly there are times I just want a more streamlined experience. That's where Linux comes in. It can be both extremely streamlined and extremely in depth as necessary with none of windows bloat.

Funny enough, I bought an open box ROGZ1 regular Ally and it was supposed to be 299 320+ tax. Home and set up the device, I realize that it was actually an ROGLIZ one extreme model. The craziest part is every benchmark every software I’ve encountered since then and all of the performance relative to all the videos I’ve seen matches up so this is definitely a Z one extreme Ally whether I’m on. Windows 11 , basket, or ghost spectre!

@Grayham27 13 дней назад

Have you considered trying bazzite with GNOME? It's a desktop environment that in my opinion would be better for a handheld than KDE, as it works far better with touch controls.

@ctrla1tde1 4 месяца назад

cool, so do you also re-install AMD and Armoury apps? what happens when you press those buttons (ie armoury and command centre)? thanks.

@TiredTimelord 4 месяца назад

The armory button becomes your steam button left pulls left menu right pulls right menu. Having owned both I can say the Ally feels so much better with Bazzite then with Windows. Now Linux has the same limitations so anti cheats don't play nice all the time but the tradeoff is substantially more user friendly for gaming.

@TiredTimelord 4 месяца назад

@digitalmaus 2 месяца назад

If you can't delete the EFI partition using Windows Disk Management you can try using Diskpart in command line. Here are links to a couple of third party partition tools. The webpages also have tutorials on using Diskpart. I know that Aoemi partition assistant has a free download. Not sure if it covers deleting partitions. www.diskpart.com/windows-11/how-to-delete-efi-partition-in-windows-11-0825.amp.html www.easeus.com/amp/partition-master/delete-efi-system-partition.html Also, if you have access to a Mac computer you can try using Disk Utility to erase delete partitions, you would have to format the SSD in Fat32. But you could then connect it to your PC and format it in NTFS.
