The Steam Deck is a handheld gaming computer developed by Valve and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), released on February 25, 2022. The Steam Deck can be played as a handheld or connected to a monitor. It is an x86-64 device with integrated gaming inputs designed to play the full Steam library, including Windows PC games via the Linux-based Proton compatibility layer. Users can modify the device's software to run non-Steam applications and games from other sources. It uses SteamOS 3.0, but is also capable of running Windows (currently restricted to Windows 10).

Windows
Steam Deck is a fully operational x86_64 PC and operating systems like Windows can be installed and can be used as long as drivers are provided. Windows drivers were officially released by Valve on March 10, 2022.[3] and can be downloaded from Steam Deck - Windows Resources page, these include the GPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, SD card reader and audio drivers.
As of March 15, 2022, Windows 11 is not supported due to an issue with fTPM, however Windows 10 can be installed. Also, dual-booting SteamOS and another operating system is not yet supported but "will be released alongside SteamOS 3 once it's complete".[4]
The main advantage of using Windows as opposed to the built-in SteamOS 3 is the ability to run games that are incompatible with SteamOS 3. For example Destiny 2 explicitly does not support Steam Deck unless Windows is being run as the operating system.[5] Similarly PC Game Pass can only be played on Windows and not on SteamOS.

SD card
Steam Deck uses a MicroSD slot which is limited to UHS-I, with a read speed of 100MB/s. It is possible to install games and software onto the SD card.
SD card Flatpak permissions
If you install games from third party launchers such as Epic Games Store or Heroic, then you will need to grant permissions for those applications to write to the SD card.

- "Destiny 2 is not supported for play on the Steam Deck or on any system utilizing Steam Play's Proton unless Windows is installed and running. Players who attempt to launch Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck through SteamOS or Proton will be unable to enter the game and will be returned to their game library after a short time. Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban."
