Seriously. I never understood why people do consoles and buy into every sleazy tactic the companies pull.
Why not both?

well, you see... not long ago, Valve barred Dolphin from their store because Nintendo told them to
but yeah, you can also run other stuff on the Steam Deck, it's a full featured Linux machine
They may not host it on their store, but they still allow you to play through steam.
You don't need the steam store to play games on the steam deck, it's a PC. they even have EmuDeck to make it seamless with your steam library.
I used them for years until I switched to a gaming pc and steam link. The steam link is unfortunately dead as a concept so I just keep my tv as mirrored screen of my main monitor and plugged into my desktop.
But for what it’s worth it is easier to just buy a console if all you’re interested in is couch gaming
I recommend the Moonlight/Sunshine Combo for this.
Do you know if it works with arch based distros?
There is a file called sunshine_aarch64.flatpak, maybe this is the one for you? https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/download/v0.20.0/sunshine_aarch64.flatpak
Thank you very much! I’m loving Garuda but it can be inconvenient that it’s built on arch whenever I want something that isn’t a detailed explanation of what’s broken
