If you want to play anything with anticheat, you can't on a steamdeck. And gamepass was my number one reason to not get a steamdeck. I play Xbox too, I might as well get the most bang for my buck if I already subscribe.

Sea of Thieves has a shit ton of Tumbleweed reviews on protondb. You should read them. There's also a fair amount of other distros that say they work fine. Now my own anecdotal experience, I couldn't get anything to work on my arch install. But I was dumb as hell and didn't want to use a desktop environment on a desktop.

I know there are working ones, unfortunately all but overwatch don't work from current games I play.

This was all in response to why anyone would choose a windows machine. I'm a use case that needs windows. I don't love that I do, but it is what it is.
