      Since I’m one of the people who is on the fence about whether or not to pick up a Nintendo Switch 2 or to get myself an ROG Ally (I have $250 of gift cards for Target which don’t sell the Steam Deck) so that I can play steam games on a handheld. I heartily disagree.

      And it’s Nintendo’s anti-consumer policies that is making me hesitate on the Switch 2.

      Not exactly, but overlap is significant. A bunch of people want Nintendo because they always did Nintendo and that’s all they know, a bunch of people know that switch is something that kids want and so they get one, sure. But a bunch of people want to play some games lying on a couch or riding a metro or sitting in a queue at a dentist, and those people will at least google what exists on the market. This is an overlapped audience, and for a lot of them steam deck will be the obviously better choice.

        It already comes with Linux installed, and an emulator can be setup with five button presses and thirty seconds of waiting.
        The base system is setup as immutable, but /home isn’t, so aur isn’t available out of the box, but flatpacks are for example

          That’s pretty rad. I don’t have one to know the nuance.

          I heard it was possible to install bazzite on the SteamDecks

            SteamOS is an Arch Linux, basically, with some stuff pre-installed. The only big difference is that it’s installed in immutable mode, but even that is not a big deal

              Thanks for the clarification. I really want to pick one up. Might wait a bit for a SD2 I’m sure is a year or two out.
