At least it can be turned off for now. But they are going out of their way to make me not want to use Windows. To be honest I kinda like MacOS and SteamOS a bit better than Windows at this point.

Haven't there been ads in the Windows 10 start menu for like 4 years now?

Yes, if any game would just work with the same quality/performance in Linux/Unix/Mac I may ditch it. MS they are greedy little *****, god I think I remember reading about this in edge too a while back. Plus that update that makes it where you can't change the default browser!

Many of my games work on Steam OS with little to no issue. Thought the deck does have weaker hardware than my desktop, still the experiences is quite good.

I am wanting to build a small sit by the TV sys, Even just to sell. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BLXY7S4Y/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?smid=A26YYQ0U8ZSIL1&th=1 to bad I can't find a deeper one, so I can fit a 2 fan GPU in it. Just get SteamOS and install. The OG Xbox would be a cool small sys if a sandwich style would fit. My GPU is 7.4 :(.

 

1.75 MB I/O backplate
1.30 2x gpu is 3.05 right. Seems the OG Xbox is enough.

I am dual booting with Windows on my Zephyrus Duo cause of its peculiarity which works best in Windows. It's a good thing I'm mainly a Linux user otherwise I'd be totally pissed right now.
