No idea about handhelds as I'm an exclusive PC gamer - what OS do these devices come with if not SteamOS? Aren't other OSes far inferior?

ROG Ally comes with windows and it's very usable, I don't have any of the usual windows chicanery

"Oh."

@OmegaLemmy @cm0002 I thought Nobara was Fedora-based?

It is. Not comparable at all. Starting with Arch barebones and building an entire OS on it is basically all the work with the least amount of skipping. Lots more room to cater to and optimize handheld experience

How reliable is sleep? Does it actually go to sleep? Is the battery drain in sleep acceptable? Does it come out of sleep without issue? Is it fast to go to sleep and resume from sleep?
My experience with the steam deck has been absolutely stellar regarding sleep, to the point is has been a game changer. So fast to pick up for a quick game and put back to sleep even if playing just for a minute. It's reliable and the battery drain is acceptable maybe (roughly 10% per 24h but didn't measure it explicitly).

Suspending games is a hit or miss, depends on the game but I would say 70% don't work right

What issues do you encounter when you say they "don't work right"?

CachyOS is just steam OS if you set steam to launch in big picture mode at boot.
Everything's preinstalled same scheduler arch based and they even have a iso designed for handhelds.
Iv never understood why the fedora solutions got so popular when people want a steamOS distro. Like we have a basically 1:1 clone and everyone just goes naw choose a fedora option and then complains it's not close enough.
ITS BAFFLING
