With the OLED announcement, the only thing I‘m missing is a convenient dual boot setup and that‘s it lol

Legitimately curious, no judgment: why do you want this? Not dealing with Windows is one of the best features of the Deck, IMHO.

Game pass for games on the cheap i imagine.

Ah, OK. Incidentally, the cloud portion can be done without Windows by installing Edge on the Deck.

This works well.

Having to be online and with a good internet connection is not well suited for a handheld though, in my opinion.

100% agree. The Deck itself has offline mode, of course, but cloud gaming and mobility don’t really mix (ironic as it sounds).

Microsoft could release a customized Windows installer USB image that handles repartitioning and installs a touch friendly bootloader. Just like they’re not interested in releasing a GamePass client on Flathub, they rather support competitors like the Ally that come with Windows by default.

Bazzite supports dual-booting, so if you really wanted to, you could wipe your deck right now, install Windows, and then install Bazzite.

makes sense, it’s their most successful hardware product. I’d be surprised if they didn’t

They’ll stop at gen 3 or whatever would have had a 3.

Same, Valve needs to get the international distributorship rolling!

Step 2, part 1: Release OLED.
Step 2, part 2: Release roadmap.

Step 3: HL3 confirmed.

I judge them by their track record. I am still waiting for their wireless vr that they said was coming.
