I'd say blocket.se would be more of an alternative than tradera here in Sweden.

Pretty much never been except the last two years. Went to the following the last two years:

  • Live orchestra of Lord of the Rings music (really nice)
  • Eivør (really can't recommend her enough)
  • Heilung (Eivør as foreband, really amazing as always)
  • Planned to go listen to the Witcher music with live orchestra later this year.

It seems that once you find your niche and place to look it's really nice!

Mostly Witcher 3 but plan on running through the whole Witcher series, red dead redemption, Factorio, banished and so on. So, not that demanding.

Yup, rings a bell.

Thanks, I'm leaning towards the steam deck anyways.

Yeah, it seems a lot of people are really happy with the Ally X, my main gripe with it is longevity and lack of touchpads. Playing RTS games like Banished (which I love) seems like it would be really miserable on a touchscreen instead of a touchpad.

Yeah, I guess so. I'm leaning towards the steam deck simply because of longevity, accessories, community and touchpads but the performance kind of worries me but perhaps unreasonably so.

Thanks for your answer and insights into Bazzite on the Asus.

As far as I've seen the Ally did indeed have those problems but they have been fixed with the Ally X, it seems many people are very happy with them but it also seems that Asus RMA process is a bit hit or miss.

 

I'm looking to buy the steam deck or simply the Ally X and put Bazzite on it. Does anyone here have any experience with Bazzite on the Ally?

I'm not quite sure the Ally X is worth it as it's about 25% more expensive then the deck and it seems to have a smaller screen though it does have VRR.

It seems battery life is pretty comparable but it seems the Ally X has better performance but, again, is it worth it? I do have a pretty powerfull PC at home (9700X with 6800xt) that I guess I could always remote play or simply go sit at the desk.

I don't play any recent AAA games, the most demanding I would play would probably be Witcher 3 or Red dead redemption 2 (haven't started yet).

I do however like to play games the likes of Banished or Factorio and I'm worried that's not going to be possible without the touchpads on the steam deck.

I'm also worried about the longevity of the Ally X and access to spare parts and accessories.

I don't remember the name but it's a depiction of a cave explorer that got stuck like that and died. While there was help at the place to try and get him out they couldn't. If I remember correctly he's still stuck in that same place.
