We're lucky to have valve. They actually managed to make a console without the downsides of a console.

My OLED deck has arrived today, can't wait to use it.

You mean their Linux PC with a built in controller?

A linux PC would involve some amount of tinkering.

The steam deck is foolproof, a 6 year old can play games on it with no issues, so it's a console. The PC mode is just a nice extra.

Linux can be configured to be idiot friendly y'know, and it doesn't make it suddenly not Linux. The SteamDeck has the capabilities of a full fledged Linux PC with the PC mode, it very much isn't just a console.

The Steam Deck definitely requires a certain amount of tinkering, depending on when you got it and what games you're trying to play!
