Tell me don't have a SteamDeck without telling me you don't have a SteamDeck.
Unless you just mean building a PC, in general. Sure. Building a gaming PC isn't for everyone.
Steamdeck has numerous issues as the best case and is embedded AMD. Flakey Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, dealing with decky breaking every few weeks. Inconsistent resolution scaling issues on desktop mode.
I mean, I'll agree 100% that docking a SteamDeck has been hit and miss, depending on the game. I have about the same annoyances docking a SteamDeck as docking a laptop. I'm not angry at Valve or Windows about that, but I am very impressed with Nintendo.
I haven't had more wifi issues with SteamDeck than with my Switch or Switch Lite, or with a typical laptop.
I don't use SteamDeck desktop mode, except to install my free copy of Luanti, so I cannot comment.
Now, when we dive into specific games - mutiplayer code varies wildly between games on PC, and SteamDeck is still much closer to a PC expeirence, in that regard. If that's your point, I'm with you 100%.
A "Steam Remote Play Verified" badge would go a long way!
Edit: Decky is a mod right? I haven't had anything on my SteamDeck break every few weeks.
Oh! We did have a long running bug where various network stuff never worked quite right after waking from hybernation, which I fixed by rebooting after any time I let the deck sit for awhile.
That was patched pretty recently. It never bothered me much (once I understood the solution was a reboot) because the boot time is like 20 seconds.
I admit, I am pretty technical, but guessing that it might need a reboot after hybernation is something I think I learned from gaming on a Windows laptop.
Still, to your point, a better experience for folks coming from PC gaming than coming directly from console gaming.
Yeah, Decky is a third party plugin loader that you can install on SteamOS. I've been using it for 3 or 4 years now. As long as you're not dumb enough to update the OS before a Decky update is available, there really aren't any issues with Decky breaking anything.
