Comment on How do you make the most of GamePass on SteamDeck?

Interesting on paper, but good luck running games with that setup.

If I understand correctly this basically starts a container which itself spawns a VM running windows. Good for running Minesweeper and probably not much else.

Agreed, I’m not sure the Deck has the performance necessary to make it work well.

I got it running on my chrultrabook but its NOT fast (installing o365 took 6 hours for example). You’d be pretty period limited to only games prior to around 2014 based on memory limitations.

Personally? I’m a nutter, so I’d have at it just for shits and giggles to see if it’d work then immediately proceed to abuse my newfound power.

I tried setting this up and did eventually get some windows apps working but they constantly had display issues, lost mouse focus or the mouse didn't align inside the app, window resizing issues, etc. Its good for things that are going to be very static and not much else.

Unless I just set it up wrong, which could definitely be the case.
