I’m not familiar with steam so I planned to buy the steam deck with the condition that I can download windows so I can still play the other half of my games that aren’t on steam. However, someone’s just said the windows isnt supported on oled. Idc too much about quality, but the Oled has more storage so I don’t have to make the hassle of upgrading storage. People are saying wait a bit and eventually windows will be supported but idk. I won’t die without windows but I don’t want to sacrifice a lot of games I want to play. Using any sort of remote play isn’t available for me. Any other options other than buying the LCD?

    Is the ROG ally too expensive? The software on that works pretty well actually, SteamOS-like overlay and a functional game launcher that lets you customize stuff. They also update stuff fairly frequently although not a lot has changed. The main downside is the whole SD card reader fiasco, but it’s super easy to exchange the SSD (easier then the deck, they even have cloud recovery so you don’t need a USB boot drive and it auto-installs your drivers).

    I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be able to load windows on the Deck but you’d be on your own as far as updating drivers and software and stuff. Valve isn’t going to be working on optimizing for Windows.
