To be clear, while the article says this is “official support”, this is only drivers provided by valve.
Per valve:
We are providing these resources as is and are unfortunately unable to offer ‘Windows on Deck’ support.

Eww…
Blech! Why would somebody sully such a wonderful device with a piss patty OS?
ew
Good to have the option, but probably only worth it if you play anti cheat infested games or subscribe to game pass. I’ll stick with the OS optimised for the hardware
This is definitely meant to make it less painful for the players of those games.
Weird that the drivers are that dramatically different for the OLED version.
The standard Steam Deck Windows drivers have been out for ages, I have a Win11 external SSD and it works fine.
Weird that the drivers are that dramatically different for the OLED version.
The WiFi and BT modules are completely different (the OLED’s product page says this since the announcement), hence new drivers required.
I for one welcome the ability to:
- play flash games,
- Games without launchers or not on steam
- Run vortex, wemod, obscure mod installers without winetricks that are more hassle than they’re worth (if they work at all)
- Literally just not have to find workarounds for everything I want to do that isn’t through steam that adds another hour of research and installation to the process.
You may now begin the downvotes. (Even if you’re wrong I respect your opinions)
