Comment on Does anyone play Destiny 2 on SD?
SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 year agoWindows is an option, but I’d really recommend a dedicated Windows handheld for that instead of the Deck.
Why is that?

The Deck is designed for SteamOS and SteamOS is pretty much designed for the Deck. They’re chocolate and peanut butter.
I feel Valve’s Windows support is not great – it’s a custom APU for them so you’re getting your drivers through Valve, not directly from AMD’s Adrenalin. The APU drivers are from March, I’m not sure if we’ve seen any Linux improvements since then on the APU side but months without GPU driver updates to address game compat issues doesn’t encourage me.
They don’t officially support dual booting AFAICT, and given the size of modern games + Windows, I wouldn’t want to dual boot on any of the offered SSDs tbh.
If you’ve got a deck and really want a Windows-only game, it works. But given the easy availability of the Ally, and the upcoming non-extreme Ally, I can’t imagine recommending anyone who wants to primarily play a Windows-only game get a Deck.
