Steam deck, Steam OS and 3rd party DRM

[applemop2000]

Does anyone know if you will be able to use Uplay, Origin, battlenet etc. using the steam OS, or is that only possible if we install windows. Thanks.

Sweet didn't know it had a desktop mode. Thanks.

remote play does not support hdcp, so any protected content will not stream to it

but it can play most games by itself

Will probably have to install & use Lutris[lutris.net]. Works fine for me w/ Uplay and GOG Galaxy, and sort of fine w/ Origin (downloads tend to drop).
