Hmm yeah it's not really in ideal situation. Granted that a lot of us didn't expect it to run on Windows nearly as well as out of the box. Saying that if playing Steam games is your main want for the Deck then it should be fine for that use. And running dedicated programs specifically designed to run on Linux and emulators and such.

I was hoping it would be make for a great windows experience like GPD or Aya Neos though it looks like Valve is concentrating on getting their games working first and fulmost on their preinstalled OS. Who knows maybe they will improve the Windows drivers in the upcoming months.

Hmm we shall see. Still looks like a fantastic little machine for the price. But tbh without decent Windows support limits its appeal to me quite a lot.

Honestly though you can always try it and if you don't like it you could probably return it or even flip it on eBay at no cost or even make a return on it seeing as how limited in numbers these machines are being made.
