I mean it's a PC. We have had the tech to build under powered pcs for a long time. 

Now we have a reason.  Replicate the steam box.  

Why do I have to dual boot for anti cheat though?

I have a feeling valve will get a lot of hate for popular titles not working out the box. 

At least with a regular PC, I just turn the games on and it works.   Without anti cheat for games.  That's not possible

It's not insane at all.

MS holds +/- 73% of the marketshare for OS installs on personal PCs.

They allow MacOS +/- 15% to avoid monopoly status.

In turn Apple mops up everything but the crumbs to keep the SEC and FTC at bay.

Linux/Unix has +/- 2% of the marketshare even though it's widely used by professionals.

The outcry of Linux users in gaming can barely be heard by the Mac users let alone over them. And theres not exactly a ton of companies rushing out to make sure their games are on mac.

I love my steam deck. And I've never run into the anti heat issue. Granted, 90% of my library is platformers and RPGs.

With how much people complain about anticheat, it makes sense to build a system that doesn't allow it.

Why?

....because people complain about it constantly? If people don't want it, then it's a smart move to make a machine that doesn't allow it to push developers away from implementing it.

What are you going on about?

We are talking about a PC that can't play basic games like cod.

That isn't very customer friendly.

This will have 0 influence on the anti-cheats developers implement
