More people need to be aware of Bazzite and Chimera. They are both phenomenal (I prefer Bazzite) and remove a TON of pain from trying to muddle through Windows.
After windows copilot topic, I've been thinking of switching to Linux like many users are doing. And your video will help me to make that decision without the fear of being a new user to Linux. Thank you for this tutorial.
Same here. I can't trust all this ai garbage coming out.
Linux is not good for emulation tbh
You worry too much. Ally surely won't get that copilot recall feature.
@@marikishtar Emulation is easier on Linux than Windows. Windows only caught up when Emudeck got released for Windows. Emudeck makes emulation dead simple.
@@marikishtar I am running them. And I found no difference between them.(Linux and Windows)
I recently switched to Bazzite OS about a week ago on my Ally. Love it. Great video. This is the right software for this hardware.
hows the battery backup ? better than windows?
@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.
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
@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.
@@TiredTimelord curious, what replaces armoury crate / RGB profiles / the other adjustable settings? For me, armoury crate made it simple to change system settings. How does this OS replace this functionality?
I installed Bazzite to my Legion go and oh man! It Dramatically improved the way I use that device. I love the Steam OS and everything just runs perfect.
Bazzite made my base Z1 Ally actually useable with games, games that stuttered on Windows play just like the OG Steam Deck does on Bazzite, I am cool with some quirks as long as I can actually play games again
An open Box Rog Ally Z1 Extreme is $400, the base model is never worth it
How is the battery life on bazzite compared to windows?
Currently playing persona 5 royal on rog ally with bazzite. This brings back my psp memories. It just works. Battery was almost non existent though, but i dont really care.
Hello bro awesome videos keep the good work up. Did you hear about Asus Rog ally x if you did you should do a video of the difference between Asus Rog ally and Asus Rog ally x
Thanks for all the support!!!🙏 I ordered the Rog Ally X and will make a video about it as soon I get my hands on it.
Bro thank you so much for this video I've been looking for a vid like this your awesome
Thank you so much👍. Check out the description for some other great vids on Bazzite and references. Glad to help!!!
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!
Honestly would of been nice to compare this to the steam deck to see if there could be any performance differences just because i thought about getting the ROG Ally Z1 non extreme.
Love this I have this one my legion it’s amazing
Do you have it as dual boot or only bazzite ? Id like to get rid of windows all together but not sure if it's worth the effort
@@SmallEngineVelocity I have it as dual booted works great , didn’t really like legion go software compared to my steam deck / rog . So I dual booted bazzite and worked great :) . I mostly run it on bazzite and windows for new cod and xdefiant
I did not do a dual boot since I have another Rog Ally. But I still have my other SSD if I ever wanted to go back to windows on this system. I would just switch them out.
@@digitalmaus how long does it last you with bazzite?
I haven't done a detailed comparison of battery life with Bazzite and with Windows. But in my daily use there wasn't anything that made me think, WOW the battery is so much better with bazzite. You make a good point tho. I will definitely keep this in mind when making future videos. Still Learning....
No it will not impact your warranty they cannot reject you if you do any modifications it's up to the manufacturer to provide evidence of fall pay. ASUS is learning this real quick now
I'm no tech person,but my son set steam up for me, and I purchased modern warfare two ...It's been difficult to switch to regular gameplay from playing with mouse/touch screen! Someone help me, please !😢
Do you mean to switch to controller instead of keyboard and mouse? If thats the case, go to "Settings" on the main menu when you launch Call Of Duty, under one of the settings tab, you can select "controller" or "keyboard and mouse" as your input.
cool, so do you also re-install AMD and Armoury apps? what happens when you press those buttons (ie armoury and command centre)? thanks.
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.
But to be clear there is no armory crate so no system level fluid motion frames
@TiredTimelord thank you. Time to get myself a dock so that I can install this OS on my z1 extreme.
Can you also try Nobara and compare it with Bazzite. Thank you!
Its so sad that Ally only Supports booting OS from internal SSD, but Not from Micro SD Card :( wanted to Boot BazziteOS from external while keeping Windows on internal
Using a sd card as a boot drive would be terrible though, just set out 60gbs(or you might get away with 20 or less) for bazzite and you'll have a much better time
How well does the wake from sleep work? Are you able to pick up where you left off in a game like a steam deck?
@@piercetheheavens yes, exactly the same as the steam deck’s sleeping and waking
was there a battery improvement with bazzite os?
Unnoticeable difference, if there even is one
I'd just run everything at lower resolution atp
Any battery improvements?
Not sure there would be it could since it might not use the Asus power management that boost the tdp higher at times and it could push the tdp lower then the windows version and could turn off smt as well haven’t tested it yet but the z1 extreme which I have doesn’t exactly like lower then 10 watts from what I seen there is a reason the steam deck can go down to 4 watts but the z1 is weird it has more cores then the steam deck but less CU’s then it
BUT HOW IS BATTERY LIFE?
I remember when running bazzite it was about the same tbh
@@julianf40ify well that’s a let down
@@luis51785 The Z1/E aren't power efficient so they will need more power that's just how it is. OS doesn't really change much there
Can you still use GOG and GamePass launchers to play their games? Or is it locked like a Steamdeck where you need some workaround?
you can install epic games and game-pass on it but it takes a little work.
In desktop mode, how to make the virtual keyboard appear? install bazzite in rog ally but in desktop mode I can't find a way to make the virtual keyboard appear
Looked for a solution for your issue, but I wasn’t able to find one. Hopefully someone will be able to comment with one.
How is it running other launchers and games besides steam?
Which launchers do you use?
@@digitalmauswhat about epic games, EA etc? Those launchers
@Jiromimi since home boy didn't answer your question but you can run most launchers , I myself run the ea & epic games launcher
How format ssd after this thing?! i try it and now want return to windows but after format ssd its seeing only on linux systems (yes, i format it in NTFS) and i cant install on it anything - windows installer dont see it< and any linux installers say its efi erroor(( I now have 512gb dead ssd on hands(((
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.
Hey I get the error "device is active" during installation please help me
check out this link

To disable fast startup in Windows 11, you can do the following:
1. Search for "Choose a power plan" in the Windows search bar and click Open
2. Click Choose what the power button does
3. If the Turn on fast startup option is grayed out, click Change settings that are currently unavailable
4. Under Shutdown settings, uncheck the Turn on fast startup box
5. Click Save changes to apply the changes
Does anyone know how to enter a lock screen / password like in windows?
Wonder if the xg mobile still works on it
I don't have an XG mobile sorry. Hopefully someone else can provide an answer.
That's a negative
Does it work with DRM-free games?
@@vincev4630 If you mean pirated games, yes
Hi. I'm trying to install bazzite. I get to the setup menu but when i try to install it, it stops immediately and give me an error code with the text "device still active" i have tried disebeling secur boot and fast boot. Anyone who can help
Hi I have the same problem
If u delete windows you need to reinstall it after you reinstall windows go and disable bitlocker
Then enter bios and disable fast boot and secure boot and your good to go
That’s how I manage to install it
Thanks for confirming my fears :)
Weird it still does something when you wipe the drive
Can this be a good ps3 and Xbox 360 emulator?
Yes
But what if you use pirate of games?
I don't pirate games. sorry
If the Game is Proton Certified, the pirate copy will work. Sometimes even better then the Protected Game... but GOG is the way my boy.
Gog is great but a lot of the games that I like aren't on there
@@digitalmaus well you should because the game isn't yours and you could probably lose it at any time so you should borrow it and then give it back to them since it's not yours. can't steal something that's not yours

No one buy Z1
just wait for rog ally x or go for the z1 extreme.
z1 is not worth it at all.
Exactly, that's what I'm going for, the Z1 extreme
@@DoomGamer2163 bro get rog x
it's worth it and future proof.
@@neil7763 It's double the price of the standard Rog Ally and the games I play don't really need the extra ram, not really worth it tbh. The processor is also the same
@@DoomGamer2163 not double,
i think may be 100$ or 200$ extra,
also u get egpu opition with faster ram which actually gives 20% boost to fps
main befint battery double.
rog ally only last 1 hour max in AAA tittle.
rog ally will be outdated in 2 years
but i think ally x can last for atleast 4 years with usb typec egpu support and faster more ram.
p.s 16gb ram is not enough for most of the game, when i choose 6gb for gpu, u get heavy fps dives.
if i were u, i would save few bucks and get rog x 100%
@@neil7763 The open box extreme is $400 and battery wouldn't be an issue for me if I use the system plugged in, plus for extra performance, I can always use my LLS app. 16gb is still definitely plenty for the games I play at least, for the $800 that the Rog Ally X costs, I can also get more storage which is more important for my use case. At Best Buy there's a 4tb SSD for $255, and I only need a $7 adapter that can be bought off amazon, if I went with the Rog Ally X instead of the non-X, it will set me back $1055, while the non-X with the upgraded storage will cost me $655
Hi does it can unlock tdp limits? I wanna overlock and I already took care of bios setting
