    A friend of mine switched to windows because he plays a particular popular online fps that has windows dependent DRM, and he’s happy with that but it’s also the only game he plays.

    Setting up dual boot isn’t difficult, though, you can do both if there is a particular reason you need windows. I think there is no benefit to switching to windows unless you have a specific need for it that steamos can’t accommodate (cod, destiny, etc.)

    I retired from competitive shooters long ago and use steamos exclusively on my deck and have not had many issues that would be resolved by using Windows instead.

      +1 If you can’t clearly state why you need Windows, you’ll probably be happier on Steam OS.

        I remember some people being absolutely fixated that they needed Windows when the Deck first released. Have fun with that, when some drivers barely worked at the time on Win!
