Right time to switching to SteamOS (not Bazzite) on my RoG Ally? (lemm.ee)

I am using an RoG Ally and was using Bazzite. I'm currently back on Windows (for warranty purpose. I literally can't stand the Windows experience on handhelds). Once I get my device back, I have to decide between SteamOS and Bazzite.

I saw the latest SteamOS release works quite well, except for voltage control (I know you can control it using SimpleTDPcontrol).

If I want to tinker, I can always go back to Bazzite. But Bazzite has some very minor issues (screenshot does not work OOTB/gyro support is slightly cumbersome as you need to switch controller type/no fingerprint support). I have used it for 6 months and the experience for gaming has been fantastic. The Bazzite devs have all my support.

So my question is will we ever get a proper signal from Valve saying "Yup, it's now fully compatible with the RoG Ally". Right now, i'm getting the message "We are slowly adding support for the Ally. Only features x,y and z are not working".

Are any of you Bazzite users thinking of jumping ship?

So my question is will we ever get a proper signal from Valve saying “Yup, it’s now fully compatible with the RoG Ally”.

I have doubts there will ever be such formal announcements for devices that don't run SteamOS out of the box. With more OEMs deciding to ship SteamOS, for other devices will work better as a side effect.
