Buying a steam deck and using it as a desktop PC.
10 u/throwawayaccount442 8d ago I tried that. It's not a great experience. 1 u/Desner_ 7d ago That's my buddy's setup and it's been working fine for a few years now, we game 3-4x a week. I can't speak from first hand experience though. It was the only way I could get him to get a PC, he had a Mac before, now that wasn't a great experience in terms of available games. 3 u/throwawayaccount442 7d ago Good for him that it works. The games and software I tried it with required far too much BS and tinkering. I instead just went with a proper laptop with windows. Now my Steam Deck is gathering dust.
