    I had a steam deck for a bit. I never used it as a handheld. it is a great little linux gaming box. my guess for anyone that wants to use one connected to a keyboard, mouse, and monitor the older ones are going to be a great deal.

      I never thought about someone turning the deck into their main rig. But it makes sense seeing as it’s basically a handheld gaming PC.

        SteamOS uses Steam as an installer that uses WINE to install surprisingly many Windows applications and run them.

        Honestly if it could run MacOS’s messages.app I would still own roll with it.
