It could be done, but depends on system compatibility and configuration.

I understand this remains uncertain until the product launches. I’m considering securing one and would really appreciate hearing about it conceptually.
Steam Grid refers to the Steam Deck, which is described as a portable gaming PC. The product page mentions it functions similarly to an SFF PC, explaining dual-booting is possible.
In my mind, I often wonder if it's a steam grid, but I don't know why. I was out walking when I wrote this, so I didn't think of it at the time. I realize I could switch to a new operating system, but I'm not really into Linux or dual booting. It's possible that Arch or Windows wouldn't work for me in that setup.
Arch has no interest in your actions—it’ll gladly destroy your system even if you try to warn it. Dual booting isn’t an issue for Windows either; problems usually come from features like Secure Boot.
it reminds me of the days when dual booting Windows updates caused issues with my grub settings—it wasn’t a big deal, but it was frustrating. It seems to work as described by Valve, though I’d recommend sticking with the built-in OS since 1.Valve’s Steam OS is designed for beginners and native drivers are more reliable in such setups.
Yeah, I didn't remember that part. It keeps doing that for me too. Plus, it always needs the BitLocker key when I switch back from Linux to Windows.
I plan to maintain steam OS, but to make it fully functional I need Windows for best emulation performance. I've been looking for a portable PC that works well with emulators for some time, and this one looks ideal. The absence of Windows is just a minor issue.
