@@TA_Tech Depends on the game, but more and more titles are just allowing the SteamDeck to just work. You keep saying 'but anticheat' and fail to realize that many work fine on SteamOS.
@@TA_Tech there is one simple solution, not playing them. It's what I do, it works. IF for some reason I want to play, I do it on my laptop. It's not like the deck is that great for competitive games anyway.
I would be ok if they just added native controller support, windows plays more games and is more versatile. More steam app users are windows users but they have completely ignored it. I will vote with my dollars in the future and my next purchase will be a non-valve properly supported windows handheld. Sad really, with a little attention and support for windows would have been a steamdeck buyer for future models.
I adore my Steam Deck. I was on and off about SteamOS. I love the convenience, but I also really enjoy having Windows access. I’ve been playing with different OS on Steam Deck to see what’s fitting, and it can get better than SteamOS if you’re willing to experiment. I think this idea of needing two handhelds is ridiculous. If that’s the case, why not go for a powerful handheld, and then a less powerful one with more battery? Try dual booting via Clover or any of the other options and I think your mind might change.
Owning SD and ROG ally for nearly a year now made me appreciate Nintendo Switch more, having a powerful handheld is cool but sometimes the simplicity, battery and easy of use beat all
Simplicity makes so much difference. I now turn to my xbox with its portable screen more than my Deck or Rog Ally. Steam deck two will fix this I'm sure.
@@TA_Tech I find the deck nearly as simplistic as console or dedicated handheld but the rog is awful. I hate windows. It always has problems and things to download. I’m using my steam deck again and much happier for it but now I have a £600 paper weight.
I have one with windows, and I don't use very much, all the troubles with windows, to launch, the need of a mouse and keyboard, the lack of a responsive virtual keyboard, or to use the windows one and the steam one, to play some games you would need to run steam with admin privileges. I think I'll go back with steam os, it's tricky and it may need more knowledge to use, but you won't lose the console like expirence.
Never install windows on an sd card it will destroy it as its constantly reading and writing what i did to dualboot steamos and windows is i got a 256gb m.2 since my steamdeck was 64gb and i installed windows and steamos on my main storage and just got two sd cards one for my windows games and one for steamos
It’s shit I hate mine also infact it’s so bad I wish I had never bought it I hate Linux but with windows it looks good but u can’t do anything with it I found the keyboard became a alkward problem
why on earth would you put Windows on a Steam Deck. Windows is a horrific handheld OS it's just not very good. Also emulators tend to run a bit better on Linux. I'm utterly mystified as to why people would deliberately lose the ease of use of a console OS on a handheld when they want to game. On a desktop Windows makes way more sense. I own both a deck and an Ally. The deck is used as a games console. The Ally is used as a spare desktop and portable Windows machine🤷.
Windows 10 in 2022 and Windows 11 in 2023. Loved both. The problem is the period between turning on and gaming. This gap makes you looks elsewhere. I might give steam os a try again.
Havent touched my steam deck in awhile, mostly use Rog Ally these days. Once in awhile would jump on Steam Deck because certain games played better at launch on Steam Deck. Sometimes use my steam deck when wanting better battery life, and playing emulators. Just kinda sucks with whole yuzu shutdown, and their 3ds emulator. Because I enjoyed playing my switch games on steam deck back then. Never went as far as putting windows on Deck, might at certain point. Rog Ally solves playing certain games that steam deck cant.
