I don't like it but if you're that deathly afraid of penguins I suppose it's fine

This really goes against the whole purpose of buying a Steam Deck considering on Windows you will have a poorer user experience due to the lack of Gamescope and Windows' very poor non touch friendly UI. Maybe there's somethings that can make it better but it won't ever be as good as just using Steam OS or any Linux distro set up to use Gamescope and proton.

I remember when I used to write ridiculously long and detailed guides on Steam Deck things, so many people asked me to do the same for installing and tweaking Windows for the Deck! I don't begrudge anyone who wants to install and use it, but it sure isn't my scene. Or recommendation.

Or if you do, plz look into O&O ShutUp 10+11

I didn't stop to think if I should, I was preoccupied with whether or not I could.
