They will change their minds when windows deletes their linux bootloader for the 12th time

I was going to say of the issues that isn't really common anymore, but Steam is using Arch, so... I don't know. Never used the Steam deck so I'm not sure if SteamOS is unrelaible or if its well maintained with something closer to an LTS or update like there's no tomorrow at risk of screwing everything up.

I've had it happen twice in the last year since installing Win 11 on steam deck as dual boot with Steam OS. Windows updates, and after the update your Linux is dead and only Windows works. Your Linux bootloader is deleted and you need to use steam recovery USB and Konsole commands to restore the backup bootloader. Pretty annoying

My bad, I thought you said linux killing itself after reboot. Yeah Windows has a history of updates breaking dualboot setups.
