Steam deck changed my life.
I have used Arch Linux as the main OS of my PC since 6 years ago, but I always need to use Windows to play games. I never used Windows again after I got a Steam deck
iPhone + iPad/Mac + Steam Deck can meet all my daily needs.
I like it, want the Steam Deck 2, and also want the Steam console or Steam machine series.
You should be able to play just fine with Arch Linux... The SteamOS is based on arch after all.
Yes. I can and I did. But it costs much extra time to download, install, and adjust. Using the Steam deck is convenient because the default settings have already done everything, I just need to pick it up and play games.
It really doesn't. Since a few years it's basically plug and play.
