The only reason that makes me want to dual boot windows on the SD is gamepass, because other than that, there's translation layers that work pretty great on SteamOs, I have epic and Ea play installed on mine and it's honestly shocking how good they work.
There are ways to stream Gamepass games to your Steam Deck without Windows. Personally I use GeForce Now which has a good portion of Gamepass games and XBPlay which will even let you remote stream your Xbox, although they both cost money. There is a free way to do it with Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft even has a guide if you look it up.
game like Destiny and CoD use Kernel access anti-cheat program, which forcfully access the entire memory from your device, allow them to take full control of everything you have in your device. think of it like how the police getting into your house and look around for drug without a proper warrant. Window OS is cool with that, but not Linux, Linux is hard on user privacy, so they dont play well with those anti cheat system. so this is not a Steam issue as much as this is a Linux issue. and Steam simply perfer Linux for their Steam Deck OS, so that is that
@@LostWallet linux is perfectly "cool" with software running at a kernel level. Anti-cheat developers do not want to support it because it is seen as easier to bypass, or they just don't see the potential customer base as worth it.
@ that just make those developers seem even more shady. that means there are anti cheat that are compatible with Linux that they refuse to use simply because they dont want the people who use Linux to be able to play their games. I dont see how these companies helping Windows OS holding the monopoly market would be any good for the industry.
I was thinking to use steam deck to make two partitions and install windows on the second since valve releases the drivers for steam deck for windows. On windows I’d like to download and play some games from GAME PASS but it seems that I’m the only one guy of the world having that idea since no one on the whole internet shared a single video on this whole process and how he was able to decently play a game from game pass There’s no support about this from valve or from the community and now I’m thinking that my steam deck is broken since from day one I wasn’t able to decently play a single game downloaded from game pass: someone continuously crashes during the tutorial, others have not support for the controller, other are so laggy to became unplayable I don’t want to buy the games again on steam since I’ve bought them for PlayStation and I’ve game pass for the Xbox
I did this and quickly learned the hardware is not powerful enough and ended up going out and buying a ROG Ally and gave my steam deck away for free to one of my friends. Now I only game on the ROG ALLY it plays all of my games.
Personally after a few h of tweaking I got it to run well off my SD card. Virtual Memory Paging gave me the biggest boost in performance. I only use windows for games that cannot run on steamos (fuck you EA)
Why did you not just use SteamOS since that is what it was made with and optimized for? Windows is a horrid system for handhelds, it is just not made for it.
Every single issue you have just like your other videos is an issue with you. The steam deck sleeps just fine with Windows 11. You just didn't enable suspend. Every single complaint in this video. Every single one has been addressed, and the only thing is user error. Emudeck is horrible for windows. Use retrobat.
Just like the smartphone phenomenon, Microsoft (that almost feels like a slur) is letting the handheld PC market pass them by. They may still make a handheld, but I doubt it will be a windows handheld. It will either be Cloud only or XBOX only. Come on Microsoft, you can still pull off a comeback!
I'd suggest Duelbooting to play specific games like that. It is not worth loosing the great SteamOS side just to play 1 or 2 games that require windows.
Whats difference betwwen the 2 for modded minecraft? Thats my main use of the steamdeck and hoping with loseless scaling i can take it to the next level
Honestly, in my opinion, the Steam deck is incredible just with Steam Os and the Linux system, I would never dual boot Windows, I don't see the need. And even if you want to install these games that are not compatible (Call of Duty and others), there are other ways to make them run very well without Windows. But, that's my opinion
You have to understand windows to unlock the power of windows & then you won’t go back b/c windows is capable of so much more but at the cost of a learning curve like playing a souls like game & dying 100 times. There is no point really to installing windows if you don’t run lossless scaling. Resident Evil 4 remake runs at 35 fps-ish on medium w/ a steam deck. By running lossless scaling you will exceed 120 fps. b/c its downloading the frames, like it’s almost streaming them, ad if are they cloud based, you can gain more frames then your refresh rate.
@@edwardlashley3572 I completely forgot to talk about lossless scaling that Dramatically increased performance in games that we’re just on the edge of playability and allows you to play on higher detail levels. It is incredibly useful thing that you can do in windows that you can’t do in steam os
Hello I have a few questions to see if these are able to be resolved. We've installed windows on a SD card, and set it up with no problem, it works fine but there is a few issues. The wifi adapters do not work for some reason, we have installed all the drivers from Steams Windows page, it connects via LAN fine but wifi is preferably. The rockstar games launcher won't sign in properly when launching GTAV through steam, we sign in, then it just closes and then never boots GTAV, another attempt will prompt sign in again and the circle continues.
i saw a reddit thread saying that you need to download and install the correct drivers for wifi and it should work i looked up "is windows on steam deacj worth it" and it was a sub heading under the first reddit link. i hope ive helped :)

Why can't steam just fix the issues for us, i would kill to play all games without software issues.

Still will do this but side load it on external harddrive
I've thought about it. May side load it on a portable SSD that I have laying around.
Your right I think it's time for me to upgrade. Or get somthing new
The only thing steamos needs in my opinion is the amd afmf 2 Support.

thank u
I was right about to say this!
How do I enable suspend

Planning to go full windows on my Steamdeck because i just want to play Ragnarok online etc. i have my xbox swries s to play console games

Nice job.
you're really just yapping on about nothing lol. i think you should write a video script and stick with it instead of yapping away.
What's the song?
it's from pokemon RSE, I believe it's little root town. this pokemon series has some of the best tunes IMHO
What's the music at the beginning please ?
@@devoxer6549 it is a Lofi Pokémon track copyright free stuff I found on RUclips that first song is a Lofi version of littleroot town’s theme
@@JustSomeJacob thanks
I knew it, it sounds familiar yet different!
