    Pretty sure you can still pick “Other sign in methods > Domain join” and create a local account that way.

      Only on the pro version, which is the only windows version people should be using. Or they should (Puts on fingerless gloves) switch (Adjusts fedora) to (Sips mt dew) LINUX

        Literally as soon as steam releases OS 3 to desktop users. (No solicitors please).

        Also wouldn’t it be sips M’dew whilst wearing a fedora?

        Fair point about the pro version. And yeah, I’ve been using my Steam Deck (Arch w/ KDE Plasma) docked to my tv as my daily use PC for a couple months now and I don’t miss Windows at all.

    Yeah, but does the Shift+F10 and running OOBE/BYPASSNRO still work?
