Valve’s Steam Deck, which is set to be released later this year, will let you dual boot Windows and Linux. This will be a great way to have the best of both worlds, as you can use Steam on your Windows computer and use Linux on your Linux computer at the same time. This is a great way to save space on your computer and also make sure that you are always up-to-date with the latest software releases.
Not only can you dual boot Windows, but Valve says that you can launch an operating system from an SD card, which will save valuable space, especially if you choose to go with the cheaper Steam Deck with less storage.
This is good news for anyone who preordered a Steam Deck, as it serves as a friendly reminder that the device is just a portable computer and not as limited as traditional game consoles. Even if you don’t want to be in the Steam system, Valve confirmed that you can run non-Steam games through Proton.

Overall, this is some good information about the Steam Deck, and it has us even more excited to get our hands on one when it comes out at the end of 2021.
