They pretty clearly said they liked this form factor, which is quite different from a standard ROG Ally? I strongly doubt it’s going to have a locked down bootloader, so any firmware differences should be worked out fairly quickly by the Bazzite team et. al.
Maybe, but this is basically a thicker back which can be added as 3rd party accessory, but if the price won’t be more than 50 euros / dollars more than the normal one it maybe worth it.
Just install Bazzite on it.
Then buy the rog ally.

No, it very much is not just a thicker back. This comes with the next generation Z2 and Z2 Extreme chips.
Then it is an upgrade 👍
Fwiw I specially was referring to the Xbox controller like handles built in. I find holding the deck for a long time to be a little uncomfortable.
I really want an upgraded deck, hardware wise, but I am happy to look for a case first.
