To be clear, while the article says this is "official support", this is only drivers provided by valve.

Per valve:

We are providing these resources as is and are unfortunately unable to offer 'Windows on Deck' support.

Some games have security software that requires Windows. Destiny 2 for example.

@jordanlund Too true. Does this new arc version of SteamOS allow for dual booting?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

As far as I'm aware, all Steam Decks can dual boot. On my machine you hold volume down on power on to access the boot manager.

I didn't partition the internal drive because I wanted to preserve the original install, so I boot from the external SSD for Win 11.

@jordanlund Yep, just looked into it. Only the original SteamOS (Debian) couldn't dual-boot.

Sweet, so that's a bonus.
