Is it bad to justify getting a steam deck by saying that it's desktop mode is really a linux PC which I can use to setup VS Code and Node to do my open source web work??? So... Its not just a toy... but a development device?
@sketchpunk I'm really interested in how well it works or not...
@Ironicnet As a dev device? me too! If I can work on my webgl stuff on it, it would be pretty sweet.

@sketchpunk or… if you buy it and keep it in an unopened box for 30 years, it might go up in value! Not an investment advice lol πŸ˜‚

Jk but seriously steam controllers from original steam machines sell so well as collectibles.

Steam decks are amazing devices but most of us have too many screens already.

@aki I love the steam controller, the only thing I dislike about it is that I can't use it with a web browser's gamepad api.
@sketchpunk next time I need to buy a laptop I hope there's some AMD machine based on a newer version of the Steam Deck Soc... Maybe with twice the power budget. I'd like to see it compete with Apple's M1/M2 hardware.
