I have both, and I definitely like them both for different reasons. I have had the Steam Deck for a longer period of time and it is a lot more user friendly with plenty of features that make it good for someone who wants to get into PC gaming as a whole. Though, because it’s a Linux machine, it can’t play absolutely everything. The Ally is a windows machine, so it can launch games that Linux machines can’t (in my case, games like Destiny 2 where you would get permanently banned if you try to play it on the Steam Deck). I also find some games just look a lot cleaner on the Ally than the Deck, like Baldur’s Gate 3 looks and runs pretty damn good on the Ally while it looks pretty blurry on the deck. Like I said though, I use them both and like them both for different reasons. I do find that I play with my Steam Deck a lot more though, simply because it’s the easier one to just pick up and play without too much setup.

You just get banned when you play Destiny 2 on Linux. You can easily play it on SD on windows without problems, did it myself
