The instance rules apply here alongside two community specific rules.
Rule 1. Please keep all discussion relevant to PlayStation consoles, games and services.
Rule 2. Lemmy.zip allows NSFW content but I’d rather keep this a safe community for gamers of all ages so please don’t post adult content here.

This is in context to OP who has a Steam Deck. If they can figure out Linux, they can install Windows and Steam. Hell, they don't even need Windows! Steam also has a Linux client.
And in general, Windows is simple as fuck to get going. You literally just follow the instructions on screen for installation. Driver issues haven't been a thing for a LONG time, unless you have some weird, unheard of, or ancient legacy hardware; the OS handles it automatically. And if they don't build the machine themself, pre-built PCs come with everything in the box and the operating system already installed.
Unless you want to do something strange or unique or really technical, the bar for entry is mostly just the price of a computer vs a console; not the difficulty in setting one up.
