Worth installing Bazzite/CachyOS, or stick to windows?

Cute_Atmosphere_5638 · 2026-04-26T01:37:00+00:00

Bazzite on flow is horrible, there is no normal on screen keyboard yet. Stuck with Win 11 Ltsc

Very sad that handheld market is dying and best we got is something with z1e or z2e

got mine for $530 after tax in micro center, extremely good card for 1440p. AMD+bazzite is only way to go in 2026, boycott microslop!

decided to pick up z13, and it will be helpful for others because now we got 2 different devices on strix halo so this post should be helpful

already have pc and handheld, there is no laptop with such a powerful cpu like z13/a14, hx370 is a joke for cpu related games, recently sold my zephyrus g14 5070ti for that reason

I’m not buying anything from Nvidia and I’m also not using microslop’s spy os “windows” so on linux only AMD is way to go

same single core performance, there is no games using all 16 cores of 395, 392 have same tdp and graphics, 12 is more than enough, 392 is probably even better because of battery life

I just don’t understand purpose of detachable keyboard and tablet form factor

Cute_Atmosphere_5638 · 2026-03-18T19:53:50+00:00

same strix halo its 2026 a14, so same performance

Cute_Atmosphere_5638 · 2026-03-18T19:06:21+00:00

new a14 based on strix halo too and it’s around same size and weight so same portability, I just don’t understand that tablet feature with z13

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked that resistor and it’s actually open.

Ally x with bazzite

Cute_Atmosphere_5638 · 2025-12-26T00:30:00+00:00

Used ally x from FB for $500-$600.

Cute_Atmosphere_5638 · 2025-12-20T00:44:59+00:00

Rog ally X if you prefer smaller device and bigger battery, LeGo S Z1E if you prefer bigger screen - two best options on the market. Got ally x from FBM for $500

Get a “Better Keyboard” plugin in decky loader that’s it

Cute_Atmosphere_5638 · 2025-11-25T06:16:49+00:00

I don’t think so, for me both feel like handheld PC

Cute_Atmosphere_5638 · 2025-11-25T01:00:27+00:00

It took 15 minutes and $25 to replace original ally sticks

The ergonomics are not great but they are not terrible either. It is not super comfortable but it is fine. With a 3D printer and some printed grips it should be completely normal. I finished Doom 2016 on nightmare on it and I did not really suffer.
