A lot of people choose the steam deck over it's windows competitors, and mostly because the software experience is better on the deck vs. Windows.

I have a Deck and a ROG Ally. Windows on the Ally sucks, and I'm going to return it. The hardware is generally pretty good other than the SD card slot issue, but the software being constantly broken ruins the whole thing.

You can put SteamOS on other systems now

It's not the same, and the lack of touchpads is really limiting. Even on windows, touchpads on the ROG Ally would go a long way to making the OS usable.
