I like the Steam Deck but Steam don’t allow more than One account to be on at a time which is stupid because i want the option of playing while my kid is on the PC or vice versa. That’s why I opted for the ROG so I could at least install Xbox and be able to play titles on that platform if Steam is being used.
I agree that windows is really fiddly on a handheld. Would much prefer a more seamless experience like on Steam if possible.
The form factor of laptops as portable computers sucks.
The laptop desperately wants to replicate the experience of a desktop and unless you have the money to spend on a luxury item version of laptop (which computer people seem to forget because they and all their friends have $2000 to drop on a toy) laptops fail miserably to do so.
My steam deck is superior in every imaginable way to a $500 laptop except for it isn’t stuffed with a uselessly terrible keyboard and touchpad.
My kid can use his steam account on my computer or his deck while I’m on my deck and use our shared library. The only limitation is we can’t both play the same game.

You can just use the Steam Deck like a Linux computer and ignore the steam part?
What’s the point of having a gaming handheld and not game? Get a laptop instead

This is somewhat new with the release of the revamped families. Previously, you could not even play different games across a shared library.
I’m aware. That doesn’t negate the fact that the comment I replied to is incorrect.
No, it doesn’t, I was simply adding context, not trying to contradict you.
Ahh. Sorry, sometimes it’s hard to catch the tone of a comment. Thank you.
