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.
Great! Like installing square wheels on my bike
I’d rather have SteamOS officially support more devices including desktop. Good on Valve for giving people options though.
Eww…
I would rather trust GamingOnLinux here:
While it is not in any way officially supported by Valve, they have now released Windows drivers for the newer Steam Deck OLED model.
(emphasis mine)
Cool but also meh, I really like steams and have had 0 issues getting games to play.
It’s a great option for people who wants to play those games where the anti cheat system doesn’t support Linux
The assholes with that anticheat need to be pressured to do Linux support properly, not people that run after them!
A part of me wishes hackers do a Crowdstrike on Vanguard to stop this trend.
