Well, that didn't last long. The Steam Deck is now running Steam OS, as nature intended. Installing Windows 11 was easy, the latest build even had working WiFi drivers so it was online out of the box. However hardware support isn't good enough for me, yet. I'm sure developers are doing the best they can but Windows is not a handheld console OS right now. I am going to choose limited game support over limited hardware support this time.

@mort8088 I have a large Epic games collection as well as a modest Steam one. Most work but it's annoying that some key ones don't. The main problem is no support for PC Game Pass, that's another collection of games that I can't use. When I was planning on getting a game PC I set a rule for myself, no buying games I own on Xbox. The only exception to this was Halo MCC, which I got on sale. The workshop content can't be accessed on console.
