I had to use a different proton version from a flatpak and start the game for the first time from desktop but I just finished a replay for Arkham Asylum, worked pretty great except for one or two crashes after hours of playing.

You can install windows on an SD card and boot from that right?

I have like 5 PCs with windows on them already do I need to buy a fresh key for this? I realize a windows key is like $10 at this point so I’m ok if that’s the case.

I believe Windows is still tied to the hardware so you'd have to get another key. A good in SA Mart sells them for dirt cheap. Here you go: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3768345

Does anyone have a control setup for SteamOS desktop mode? I have a hell of a time using it. Also, are there any transparent keyboard themes? It'd be great to see behind the drat thing.

You can just constantly rearm windows. I'm sure they'll be fine income wise.

i play apex a lot, and i don't have windows anymore. even EAC sometimes plays nicely. sometimes. e: i did have the weird experience recently of 2 indie game demos just giving me a black screen with sound though, idk what's going on there, maybe some borked unity stuff, as a rule i haven't had issues with any other indie games so far

Big one is Destiny 2 but Windows on the Deck also gets your PC Game Pass natively (without being forced to Stream). I know GOG and Epic have native launcher solutions already but I’ve yet to see anything for Game Pass and I think Ubisoft.

It supports it but its very funny that Epic, who owns EAC, will not flip that switch on their own games because (/!\ warning linux nerd poo poo) the linux version of EAC is intrinsically less secure because its just a userland thing instead of an invasive kernel rootkit like the windows version and flipping that switch kinda compromises the whole thing. If you believe that EAC actually does anything at all anyway and isnt just, a magic tiger repelling rock. That's why they'll never flip it for Destiny though.

Lost Ark, a game absolutely riddled with bots, would also be fantastic on the Deck but alas the security features that protect the game's integrity prevents it.

Destiny 2 and Lost Ark would be the 2 examples of them never flipping the switch because money is involved for microtransactions. Something that Elden Ring doesn't have.

By EAC you mean Easy Anti Cheat? It works great on deck. e: beaten

What's the most braindead way to get files off of a PC onto a Steamdeck's MicroSD card? I've been using the terminal FTP client mentioned in the OP and windows explorer but that can't access the "run" folder which has the sd card. If I use a card reader it doesn't mount on my PC. I have a usb cable. Just wanna avoid having to drop poo poo on the desktop and moving them over on the touch screen.

# ? Sep 8, 2022 23:32 |

I just FTP or Warpinator/Winpinator things to one directory and then Steam Link into the Deck's desktop mode to use my PC's KB+M on the Deck to move them where they need to be.
