I love this thing. I’m finishing games that I probably never would have gotten around to playing previously. I’m consistently impressed with how well games run, and how many of them run. I run Linux on my desktop as well and there is pretty much nothing I play that can’t be played on Linux/Steam Deck. I’m going overseas for 6 weeks in the near future, which would ordinarily mean I’m restricted to playing games on my phone. With Steam Deck and a dongle, I can continue to play all of the games I would play on my desktop. The Steam Deck and Proton have been revolutionary.
I’ve really enjoyed it while traveling. It real nice being able to throw some PlayStation controllers in my bag and having an instant console wherever I go. Every hotel ever will have some kind of hdmi cord running into a tv that you can hijack and plug it in. Don’t have to Fuck around with the switch dock system.
Hell you can cast from the steam deck straight to a tv if you want. I won’t lie, it didn’t run that great, but I bet I could tweak it and get it to work better.
