It may be made for games but it’s a more tolerable desktop experience than a fully fledged Windows PC.

Which features/functions are “missing”?


Only there’s a desktop mode that is easily accessible and opens up the device for all manner of uses.


Windows games used to run better on wine 15 years ago and Windows bloat/telemetry has only gotten worse since then.


I’ve been playing Switch games just fine on my SD. Currently enjoying Fire Emblem Engage which runs flawlessly, Three Houses also runs well. The same is true for many (most?) of the Switch library. I already have a 3DS but the Steam Deck can handle those games too. Likewise NDS games. I only play a handful of games on each system. It’s convenient to have my entire game library on one device, especially on the road.


I use my Steam Deck primarily for emulation, especially Nintendo IP. NDS, 3DS, N64, Gamecube, Switch. It’s the best Nintendo device that I’ve ever owned and it hasn’t been bricked or even threatened with such.



The Wii U library has some real gems that were ported to the Switch.


Another reason why the emulation experience is so much better.



Your comment should not have elicited as much laughter as it did.



Depends on the distro but you are largely right. You can easily use Linux Mint or Ubuntu without being familiar with the cli.


You are not too dumb to learn Linux. If I learned how to use it then you can. Start with with something simple and easy to install such as Linux Mint or Ubuntu and you will inevitably learn more as you go on. If you can read, type, point, click and observe then you have all the skills required to install the aforementioned distros.





How do you get to that setting? I swear it used to be under “Languages and Layouts”, I don’t see an option for Dvorak.



I rarely turn Bluetooth on. Maybe 2 hours in a week.
