Valve have confirmed that SteamOS support for non-Steam Deck handhelds is ticking along - unlike dual booting, which will elude Deck owners a while longer.
i get we’re on lemmy so this sentiment might be amplified, but just a reminder that most
people unfortunately do not give a shit about this sort of thing
I think the hard part with using the os from a playstation or switch instead of an emulator would be getting the hardware running with drivers and whatnot. While it may be possible I can’t see it as very practical unless you are that kind of coding nerd and you want to do it as a challenge.
What is the use case for dual boot? Do you really want windows telemetry on your device?
The few games that require windows only anti cheat

What about dual-booting a switch? Having to both Nintendo and Steam library on the same device.
I don’t know about Consoles, but a neat thought would could be dual-booting a Playstation.
I don’t use any of the above, just thinking out loud that there’s other stuff that could do with a dual-boot option than a Windows machine.
Why should I do that when I can emulate it on steamOS?
People have preferences. And I don’t think we’ve seen the last generation of hand-held or stationary consoles.
But as I said, I don’t own either. So I’m just throwing “maybes” around to your question.
Regardless, I can understand the intrigue of tinkering. Doing it, just for the sake of doing it.
Plus, you never know what possibilities it might open up for whatever tech the future might bring.

People have done wierder stuff just out if curiosity.
I’m just thinking that if someone asked Valve about it, they probably have something in mind. Even if it is just dual-booting with Windows.
