The deck is a rock solid device, once you install windows on it. Steam "SD Card Bricker" OS is obviously not the best choice, while linux is an even poorer choice for pc gaming.

If you like messing around with complex 3rd party programs, which are required to get the most basic tasks going, like starting non-steam games, then stick with linux on your deck. However, if you just want to play and not waste your time with unnecessarily complex technical workaround nonsense, do yourself a favor and install the #1 operating system: Windows.

Be smart, install windows. Don't let the cultists fool you. 👍

Apologies for the late reply. Just download windows 10 from the official microsoft site. You'll find a tool there, download that to automatically install windows on your steam deck. When the tool asks for an usb stick, use a micro sd card.

That'll be the the easiest method. I did it this way, but keeo in mind that it will replace steamOS. That's totally fine for me, because steamOS is entirely useless for me.If you don't like it, you can still reset and reinstall steamOS on your device.

Another method is to keep everything on the deck, and install windows only on the SD card. More complicated, but then you have steamOS and windows on your device. Here's a step by step guide for this dual boot setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaviK55od6Y
