I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?

I love mine. I used it as a remote PC for ~~2~~ 1.5 years on my skoolie bus conversion. If your work is compatible with linux and don't need a lot of intense specs (or can cloud all the heavy labor), then you'll be just fine. edit: sometimes time flies, sometimes it doesn't lol. Corrected the time I've owned this awesome little device.

How have you been using a device that was released a year and four months ago for two years?
