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.
