All the Windows OS drivers for the Steam Deck OLED were released, except for the speakers for the device. But now, the driver is here so people can install Windows…if they want to!
On a more interesting topic, the SteamDeck platform drivers are still not merged into mainline Linux… :'(

Well, it is about code quality. And the same codebase should work on different hardware, which is not something that is required in downstream forks.
But it is sad to see that the driver was submitted in the past, is still actively developed and improved, but there doesn’t seem to be plans of submitting them again.
Also I don’t think that a platform driver is so complicated that it requires such a long time for mainlineing. It not a filesystem or VPN.
Luckily their work is still done in the open and I can use the driver on my Deck on OpenSUSE despite it not being in the kernel.
Well, for that look at @cmhe@lemmy.world’s link.
