Steam Deck and Steam desktop both got a fresh Beta release, with plenty of bug fixing involved and Valve are dropping support for older versions of Windows.

Not that I have a lot of sympathy for Windows users but dropping 7 is going to be hard pill to swallow for some. The 10/11 compatibility with some games is apparently pretty bad.
Microsoft no longer supports 7 as of jan 10 2023.
And if Microsoft won’t support windows 7 why should valve 🤷🏼♂️.
And to be honest there is no reason for Microsoft to support 7 it’s old.
And I hate to say it but windows 11 has really gained on me in terms for coding.
Im forced to use it at work and there are really some thing I still hate about windows 11, but where they are aiming at atm is going to be real interesting.
Sry getting if topic here and I’m not here to preach about windows. Linux is still my nr 1 option :).
