I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it's a reasonable purchase. Now I'm sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.

Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it's collecting dust? I'm curious

Honestly I knew from having a switch that I really enjoyed a portable gaming device. My main gaming PC has been running Linux since ~2015 so I wasn't worried about compatibility issues with it being a Linux device.

So it was a pretty safe bet that I would like it. It's honestly exceeded my expectations though, I've barely played any games on my PC at all since getting it.

Basically all this.

It's become my primary gaming medium, and to be honest, it earned it's price from the amount of time I initially spent setting up shit, which was a blast. Easily 50 hours of setup and installations before I clocked 10~20 hours of gaming, and I loved every second.
