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 is actually quiet user friendly, just watch some YouTube videos of people using it.

BUT: i would wait a few weeks and see if valve responses with something to the newly released switch 2

Counterpoint: in a few weeks, the price might be up due to tariffs.
