This is false. All of the device drivers for the steam deck hardware are open source and included in the Linux kernel, and you can Literally just boot directly from a live USB and install whatever distro you want, it's just a very small laptop inside a console shell essentially. I think Valve even worked with Microsoft to get the hardware working correctly under windows because from what I've heard, the Steam Deck experience under windows is much better than at launch (I'm not 100% confident on that tho).
It's literally just a PC.
