I see the steam deck as being a complimentary technology that gives me the benefits of a handheld without having to repurchase all the games. The reasons why I like the steam deck are:ġ) I have a big steam library with many games I have never got around to trying yet (no need to buy a bunch of games which a backlog)Ģ) It doubles as a Linux machine (replaced a laptop) when I need a spare "PC"ģ) It does a great job emulating my old games by leveraging EmuDeckĤ) Unlike a console, I don't have to worry about most of my games becoming unplayable because there is no authentication server for it to phone home toĥ) The sooner PC gaming supports Linux the better for everyone so I don't mind being an early adopter I mostly go there to install (or try to, at any rate) mods for some of my games, and the experience has ranged from "find folder, add mod to folder, done" to "f**k Linux, this is why people use Windows." On the Desktop side, however, my experience hasn't been as smooth. But most of my games I can play straight out of the box, as it were, with no problems. And the Borderlands games required some fiddling around with to get displaying properly as well. There are some games I've had issues with, most notably RDR2 and GTA V, and I've definitely had to dial in the settings for those two games specifically to get the best blend of performance and appearance. Performance (among the games I've played on it) ranges from high average to great. I use it daily for games like RDR2, Elder Scrolls Online, GTA V, Battletech, Borderlands, Metal Gear Solid, and the two Pathfinder games. So if your game involves a lot of text or fine detail, that could be an issue. Okay, the screen is on the small side, obviously enough.
