  • Well, you basically are possible to install Windows on the steam deck, since it only is a computer, valve even has drivers for windows online. You might even be possible to split the ssd for steam os and windows, but I heard sometimes that Windows messes up the bootloader and then steamos will not boot that easily again… But I never made any experiences with windows on deck. I guess you will lose some performance, since the processor in the ally is better, but it might be worth a shot. If you decide to do so, keep in mind, that you perhaps need a windows key for windows on the steam deck

    P.S. there are plenty of guides to dualboot windows and steam os or to fully replace SteamOS with windows



  • The Steam Deck is my personal ultimate handheld. I wouldn’t want to miss it. You will get better graphics/performance on xbox or ps5 in many titles - no doubt. But I would guess you have a few games on steam and since you like handhelds - I’ve never felt more comfortable on a handheld before. But it is a bit heavy in my opinion for constantly holding it up. Playing in a state, where you can rest your hands on a surface works best.

    Asking in the steam deck subreddit will most likely result only in arguments for the steam deck. But I owned every device you listed and only really miss the ps controller.
