I’ve been on the fence for a while thinking about getting myself a steam deck. I got a great gaming computer and I’m wondering if it can possible accompany it in some way, or is it just the excitement of getting new tech kicking in.

What do you do with your steam deck? What makes you glad that you got it?

    Also being familiar with Linux, in Desktop Mode it’s just a regular Linux PC, so with a bluetooth mouse & keyboard and a dock/monitor (and maybe a bigger hard drive) I genuinely think I could probably get away with just using it as my daily driver PC if I really had to.

    I can attest to this. Went on a trip and used a Bluetooth keyboard and Desktop mode to get some minor work done at the hotel. Didn’t even bother with a mouse, as the touchpads were good enough, though I did have a USB-C hub so I could plug-in USB drives. But the Web Browser, LibreOffice, and a VPN to my home/work networks let’s a lot of stuff get done.
