Hi there! I don’t own a handheld yet, and therefore I don’t really know what I would miss buying a steamdeck. I’m eyeballing the OLED and I think I might get it.

So are there any big downsides to not having windows that you have experienced?

I know there’s workarounds to get windows if I want it, but do I really need it?

Thanks!

    The only real reason is compatibility, a lot of games and software are incompatible with Linux or require several sacrifices to the dark forces in the name of Sauron, most notably Game Pass and Easy Anti-cheat (No Valorant for us).
