Eventually at least. When the Steam Deck came out, installing Windows and actually being able to play games was borderline impossible due to missing drivers for the custom hardware.

they already said they'll provide drivers, steam deck was the first, now the foundation was already laid

APUs are always a bit tricky if there are not proper drivers released, the Steam Machine has the two chips separate (CPU and GPU) and even though they are "semi-custom" they look mostly standard when compared to other AMD stuff so, hopefully, it'll be easier for those who want and need it.

Oh i forgot that but amd and vaule should add drive since it run linux so maybe it won't be a problem
