so you only use windows with it when docked?

no (though i do have that option if i plug the drive into the dock). the entire OS is self-contained on a little usb-c drive that i plug into the top of the deck, and select the USB drive from the bootloader whenever I want to play windows games.

I couldn’t fall sleep after a couple hours…I have this at my bedside…got up and spent like 2-3 hours playing ‘somerville’…with game pass it’s essentially a handheld xbox…and the shyt plays flawlessly…I questioned the button layout but it feels great to the point that I question the switch’s design…I tried holding the switch again today and I do like the flatness/lightness of it but where they have the d-pad positioned is ass…it’s one reason why I never really could get into using it in handheld mode…I need them to make an easier workaround to stream PS+ games and integrate the games to work with the controls on the deck…with game pass and PS+ at my fingertips, forget about it :ohlawd:
