This guide will show you how to install and dual-boot Bazzite on your Windows handheld so you get the best of both worlds: all the convenience of the Steam Deck console experience, but the ability to also play games Windows games that aren't. Does not work on SteamOS. For this guide, we'll focus on the ASUS ROG Ally X, but you can use just about any handheld, including the Lenovo Legion Go. This setup turned my ROG Ally Steam Deck!

**Note: If you want to share a microSD card between Steam Windows/Linux games, the card must be formatted as exFAT so that both operating systems can read it. I recommend setting up the map on your Windows partition first to make it transparent. From there you can install and play games on both sides.
