People still buy Nintendo and Sony consoles which also don't come with Xbox Game Pass, so I fail to see the argument here..

- JamesMcMinn 5y agoI'm not arguing that people wont buy the console, I'm arguing that if they buy a console that has support for a different operating system, one which plays all of the same games and more, and also enables them to use services that they already pay for, then they're going to install that other operating system. A relatively small number of people are buying the steam deck to use Linux, most are buying it to play games on.
- R0flcopt3r 5y agoI don't think the majority of steam deck users will bother installing windows on it. But it'll very much depend on the state of SteamOS 3.0 and proton. In any way, it's a good think that you can install Windows on it. Finally being able to buy fancy bespoke hardware that isn't dependent on some cloudshit makes me happy.
