I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?
The Deck has become my main pc since months now. When I want to play, it’s just perfect as it has been designed for that (and yes, I do agree with the many comments about playing on the couch or bed).
But when I need to do something non-gaming related I boot from a dedicated SD card with WinasapOS where I have a full and unlocked linux OS on which I can install and run everything I need. I even occasionally run a Windows 10 VM from there when I needed to flash some peripheral’s firmware.
The Steam Deck is a quite decently powerful machine for its price, so why don’t use all its potential?
