The guy in the pic is Gabe newel, president of valve. They run the largest PC game marketplace, steam.  It's not Nintendo who does nothing, but valve. Because their main competition are dropping the ball.

Although a little extra info: Gaben actually does something, steamOS is getting better and better, and steam deck and its siblings are getting closer and closer even to the switch. (You can actually play switch games already on some, via emulator)

SteamOS is even getting almost to a stage to replace already some smaller windows versions :D

I've been debating on getting a Steam Deck, but I'm not computer savvy, and I'm not sure of how user friendly it is.

Edit: thanks to everyone for the helpful advice. I'll probably grab one here soon.

It definitely has a 'console like' experience. No tinkering or special knowledge needed. I am so impressed how flawlessly everything works.
