It apparently has removable controllers.

if it isn’t running Linux I’m not very interested but it’s cool hardware

If it’s not running Linux could one not just… install Linux? I wouldn’t be surprised if drivers were out before long.

Most likely. Official support is nice though, as with Steam Deck.

The problem is that if it ships with Windows then you are paying for a Windows license that you won’t be using.

I think most people now when looking at portable gaming devices like these want a seamless experience (like with the Steamdeck)

Windows has proven to be problematic with these devices, where when you use the Steamdeck it’s pretty much pick up and play. The ROG ally uses Windows + it’s own armory crate software and from what I’ve heard it’s been pretty hit or miss
