    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 on the Steam Deck I would still own roll with it.
