Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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.
