Probably fits well with having game pass on handhelds; that’s one of the notable disadvantages of the Steam Deck, even with all the great emulation for other stores (I’ve been playing Odyssey off my UPlay account) it can’t handle WinStore games.
Sure it can. Install Windows on it. I don’t get why people consider the default OS of any of these handhelds to be a downside. They’re computers. Just install what you want.
On the installed OS, you can ask the device’s manufacturer for support, and there will be 20 articles out about what’s gone wrong. If you installed a secondary OS, you might find much much less, or there might be no fix at all. The manufacturer doesn’t have to help you, nor do they care.
It’s a bit like being an outlaw. Sure, the methods may be out there, but the protections aren’t. Even if 20 people on social media say the secondary OS works well, when something breaks none of those people are volunteering to be your tech support.
Plus, SteamOS as a whole has much better controller support than Windows. From what I understand, Lenovo has added some of its own software to account for that kind of thing on its handheld.

If you want to dual boot you should be able to mount the NTFS partition in Linux and run games off it using Lutris/Proton

Say your audio stops working.

Isn’t cause they use a different format (UWP) instead of an EXE?
