First, we asked about Windows usage. Last year, just 2% of those surveyed used Windows as the primary operating system on their Steam Deck. This year? 1%. This number might explain why Valve is taking their time to roll out proper Windows support for the Steam Deck. But maybe this is a chicken and an egg problem. Because from our survey, we learned that around 33% of Steam Deck owners are at least considering installing Windows on the handheld. Would they have done so if Windows support on the Deck had been better?

Is Windows support really that bad or users just prefer experience with SteamOS?
