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.

I’d rather have SteamOS officially support more devices including desktop. Good on Valve for giving people options though.

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.

Yeah, that is a good point to make.

Main reason I linked the steamdeckhq coverage is because they covered it last night, where gamingonlinux didn’t have any coverage of it until a few hours ago.

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.
