I'd say it depends on if you want the portability or not if you have a gaming pc and are satisfied with that then don't get a steam deck. If you want to play anywhere get it.

I have a gaming PC as well and the steam deck has been a top 3 purchase (of 2022) for me..but that's because there are more times than not I rather play games on the couch (as opposed to sitting at my PC). Not to mention I take mine Steam Deck out when I'm out on the go

It's great if you only have consoles, but i don't see the point if you already have a gaming pc

I've been thinking of getting a Steam Deck to compliment my Switch.

I have recently acquired a gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion 7i) but I really do prefer console/handheld and the Deck seems like the best of both worlds

is there an easy way to get into the Linux underpinnings and stick a desktop GUI on it?

Would you think you would use it on a weekly basis? Also depends I guess on your disposable income. If you have like over 10k to just spend on whatever, sure why not?

If this would be a sizeable commitment, would you use it weekly?

Yes. I think it's a fantastic device. I just wanted a better handheld than switch for my indie games and what not, it's perfect

Than get a phone with a Snapdragon 888. It will run everything.

i doubt that.

the lure of playing games in general without being tied to a PC will be too great to overcome xd

Also I have heard battery life is understandable a problem. Since it is a portable PC it's like, 3 hours on medium settings for current gen games?

If I could afford one I'd get one, but only for emulation. Of games I already own, of course. >_>
