I’ve heard plenty of good things about Steam Deck. If I wasn’t on a college budget, I’d definitely be picking up one (most likely second hand to save money).
I was incredibly stupid and did buy it as a laptop replacement. The thing does what it was sold to do extremely well, but I have little Linux experience, and trying to learn Arch on SteamOS has been hell.

The value for money of it is unbelievable. I’ve used mine a lot, and I can’t see many ways it could be improved (none without worse tradeoffs).
I wouldn’t recommend it as a laptop replacement, but as a gaming system, it’s incredible.
It also plays nicely with both the steam controller, and the steam link. Both can be picked up dirt cheap now.

My brother has a top tier gaming PC and has stopped using it entirely since getting his oled steam deck. It’s crazy how much people love the deck.
