Has anyone tried this? How good does it work? Any problems in day to day usage?

I set up a Windows install on one of these:

Works great, no complaints. Boot from Steam Deck for Steam Deck things, boot from external SSD for Windows things.

I COULD have done a dual boot from the internal SSD, but I wanted to keep it clean.
