To be clear, while the article says this is “official support”, this is only drivers provided by valve.

Per valve:

We are providing these resources as is and are unfortunately unable to offer ‘Windows on Deck’ support.

    Valve are working on getting SteamOS to work on the ROG Ally X so maybe they’re doing this to help get SteamOS to work on windows first handhelds and make it work better across the 3rd party handheld landscape.

    Like you’ve got to take two steps back to take a step forward

      I don’t see why this would help. More likely there are two different teams/people working on either side separately from each other. I bet the windows work involves a lot more work on Microsoft’s or the chip manufacturer’s side than valves.
