I specifically did so I can use any game service beyond Steam without hacking stuff. I know I can turn on my Ally and use Steam, Gamepass, roms, sail the high seas, virtually anything, out of the box.

There's no "hacking" involved to use non-steam services on the Deck. Except maybe gamepass but since Microsoft is making that shitty now is it really that important lol?

If you want to play anything with anticheat, you can't on a steamdeck. And gamepass was my number one reason to not get a steamdeck. I play Xbox too, I might as well get the most bang for my buck if I already subscribe.

About half of games with anticheat work on Linux: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

I know there are working ones, unfortunately all but overwatch don't work from current games I play.

This was all in response to why anyone would choose a windows machine. I'm a use case that needs windows. I don't love that I do, but it is what it is.
