Steam Deck is the only portable pc that can suspend a game thanks to being built with Linux, Windows based gaming portables can't do this.

This alone would have sold me on it over other handhelds, but I'm also a longtime Linux enthusiast and wanted to support Valve's investment in the ecosystem. I'm still just so satisfied with it even a year after I got it because of how much it can do without Windows!

And with KDE and Wayland development, dumping games with annoying save mechanics to disk might also become available.

Save scumming ahoy!
