Can't believe Valve pulled it off, honestly. Multi-year project to make Linux gaming a reality and then they launched it and not only did everyone love it, but they still love it. Honeymoon phase has worn off and people are still down with the Steam Deck. Even normies like it, not just Linux nerds.

My steam deck is still regularly used. I can’t say the same for my switch.
It’s just so versatile in what it can do, since it’s a PC at its core.
And being able to play a vast majority of my library, then pick it up later on my main PC if I wish is a huge bonus.
I love relaxing on my couch and still being able to play.
Plus there’s barely a reason to use a switch with how well yuzu runs. And come steamOS 3.5 and its SMT fix, yuzu will run even better.
I haven’t really used Yuzu, mostly because I don’t know where to get switch games nowadays.

I'm considering installing ChimeraOS on my living room HTPC
If not for HDR support on Linux, I'd run it for gaming too. As it stands, it's a dual boot/vm for productivity, and win for gaming. Hopefully soon.
I got my steam deck back in May of last year. It's held up really well and it's been my primary gaming device. It's basically gotten me back into gaming.
Is it possible yet for me to swap fully to linux if 99% of what I do on my PC is games? The only desktop app I use is photoshop but as long as there's a decent replacement not a real deal breaker.
There's GIMP, which fills the same niche as Photoshop but takes a long time to get used to.
I used to run CS6 with minor issues in wine. Both Photoshop and wine have come a long way since then I'm sure, I'm curiousv what the experience is like now
