Nope, a custom Arch Linux build.

im curious: why you believed that?

valve advertised how the deck uses steam os v3, and historically they have wanted to distance themselves from windows to avoid microsoft and typical shennanigans. thats why the original "steam machines" were promoted around "steam os".

so, even if you ignored the os was reworked for the deck, you could already know they were still going to use linux.

Also, the Steam Deck has a USB-C connection. You can use a USB-A to USB-C adapter to connect USB-A devices such as a UFD.

steam deck uses proton to play windows games, steam games store page will say if it's working or not, if it says unsupported, you have to check protondb.com. a lot of games with anti-cheat don't work, not sure if ToF does or not, but the dude above says it doesn't work
