That form factor has me interested. Wonder if I can get something like that for the deck

Just install Bazzite on it.

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.

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 👍

How is Bazzite supposed to change the form factor...?

Shouldn't it be "Freedom From” ?
