    If I were to try Windows I would definitely go with one of those super optimized installs that are like 3-4 gigs. Unless that breaks some of the DirectX functionality for games?

      Wow, I wasn’t aware those exist. After a quick online search I’m quite impressed how much space modders were able to free compared to a vanilla Windows install. While I don’t seriously consider putting Windows on the Steam Deck, I’ll definitely use those images next time I need to set up a Windows VM.

        Yeah, I haven’t used Windows in years (not much of a PC gamer, I mostly play on consoles until I got my SD) and the more I read about Windows 11 and the bloat and telemetry the more I hated it. But I’m impressed how much they managed to shrink it into Tiny11 and might be tempted to experiment with it on a virtual machine.
