    I love this. My steam deck has been a life saver and all these changes also let’s me game on my desktop.

      has it been that good? i wasn’t sure about it but maybe i’ll have to re visit it if it’s stood the test of a bit of time.

        It’s amazing.

        It has the ease of console with (nearly) the library of PC.
        I’ve been able to play current AAA titles, and the original Monkey Island.
        It can Emulate pretty much everything the console market has as well (I mean, the stuff that a PC can emulate No Xbox One / Series X/S or PS 4/5).

        And two features that don’t seem as useful as they are.
        It’s a dedicated device for gaming
        Its sleep mode works well

        This means I can just pick it up, play for 10 Minutes until I get called to do something else again, pause, put it to sleep, and pick it up a week later.

        Its absolutely that good. Yes sometimes you need to tinker but there are very active communities to help even install non steam games. I bought early as i was very hopeful and now i game on it more than my desktop by far. Lounging, dock to tv, on a plane im a huge fan
