Recent patch notes sounded like they might be hinting at upcoming ROG Ally support, but it's now confirmed.

I've been looking at the ally for a while, the eGPU support is interesting too. SteamOS support would be the final addition to make me pull the trigger on it. Anyone own it and can give their 2¢?

Don't own it, but I would recommend against the regular Ally due to some known hardware issues and Asus warranty trying to scam people into expensive "not covered by warranty" repairs.

The new Ally X has some tempting hardware upgrades though, if no major defects have shown up in a couple months it might be worth checking out.

Their proprietary external GPU connector (xg Mobile graphics) was recently reverse engineered so you may soon* be able to connect desktop graphics cards.

Still in the early revisions, though all the info is on GitHub by osy86
