I’m not trying to start a fight, I just don’t understand the point of installing Windows on a steam deck? Isn’t SteamOS optimized just for this purpose? Don’t games run natively better than they would in Windows on a handheld like this? Is it just to have a cool portable Windows device? Genuinely curious here!

EDIT: I thought I’d get 1 or 2 replies calling me stupid, this community really came through! I think I’m going to try installing to an SD and short swapping in the near term. If I like it and it’s better compatibility all around, I may see about switching.
