    Why is this headline so awful to read?

    It’s not the OS they planned on working with for the Steam Deck. It’s nice they supplied drivers at all for those who chose to do so.

    Why support it? Their specialty is Linux.

      Per the article:

      But because many anti-cheat apps still aren’t compatible with Linux (hence, SteamOS), installing Windows on Steam hardware is currently the only way that gamers can enjoy titles that require them.

      So it looks like Valve is at least giving tools for running Windows on their hardware for those that really really want that kernel level malware, I mean anti-cheat, to play a certain game.

    Those plucky Windows users love to hack hardware to get their niche software running. Good for them.
