I really do love my steam deck, but more importantly for me, I am excited to see all the effects of gaming becoming more viable in Linux.

I reaaaaally dislike windows at this point.

    Steam Deck using Linux puts it above anything else in the handheld category. It’s truly a device you yourself can do anything with, with no limitations or hard locks.

    Not to mention the sw and hw support which both are excellent.

    Realising that there is absolutely no way for me to, for instance, make a local backup of saves / settings, not even a way to access them on my Switch is a very sobering experience.

    I’ll pick one up once they release a model with OLED. My Nintendo Switch has it, and it would be really hard to go back.

    Has any info been leaked about the profit margin Steam Decks are for Valve?

    I get it's a loss leader to increase Steam software purchases, but would be neat to know how much of any they earn per deck.
