If I see someone installing windows on a steam machine, I’m losing it.

There were people doing that with their Steam Decks day 1

I did it edit: on my Steam Deck for a few months to play gamepass games direct on hardware. If it’s any consultation, I used windows 10 IOT and eventually switched back to SteamOS.

It works, but windows is so clunky for actual gaming right now.

It wasn’t terrible but it was NOT good. It was useable and I got through a couple of smaller gamepass games.

I wouldn’t recommend it unless a lot has changed for windows portable gaming since 2024.
