  I don’t have a Steam Deck yet. Given the choice between that and the Switch 2, at this point, I’m still going with the Steam Deck.

      So you really can’t see why someone would only want to spend $400-$500 instead of $900-$1100?

      Also some people don’t have time for two handhelds lol

      Your perspective is way off. It sounds like you’re young, single (no kids, at least), and doing well for yourself. Which is great!

      I have a pretty well-paying job, at least enough for my family and I to live comfortably. But I also have adult responsibilities, including taking care of said family. Sure, on paper, I could feasibly afford to get both, but there’s no sense in getting two systems that–to my earlier point–seem to serve identical functions. Especially not when I’d also like to go out with my wife, prep a high schooler for college, help my younger child with severe special needs with everything he needs to thrive, sometimes go on vacation, do some other hobbies, responsibly maintain vehicles and things around the house, and so on. All that on top of purchasing frugally (every single piece of furniture in my living room, for example, we got secondhand for free).

      So yes, it’s very much an either/or decision for me, as it is for a lot of people.

    It’s getting a little older but if you find a refurbished one I’d say it’s well worth it. I enjoyed mine for the last few years, just built my first Linux gaming PC because of it!

      Funny you mention it, the next large purchase I have planned is a gaming PC to replace my aging 2018 laptop, and I plan on going all-in on Linux. From what I can tell, AMD seems to be the way to go, and as a long time Fedora user, I’m interested in Nobara.

      What’s your setup? Any recommendations?

        Happy to help how I can!

        Yeah I went AMD CPU/GPU as well. 9800x3d + 9070. Got an aorus b650 motherboard, very happy with it. Did bazzite for now, so far happy except controller support gets a little wonky when you play a game, close it, then try to play another one. Other than tiny quirks like that it has worked fantastically out the box. I haven’t even had to open the terminal yet.

        Playing expedition 33 at 3440x1440p at all max settings. Consistently pulling 80fps
