I really love this handheld so many windows games work so well on it and adding games from other platforms then steam is quite easy over the desktop mode. I’m playing the Skywalker Saga Lego Game and it’s a lot of fun and the graphics are amazing

Have yet to test the Deck or any other portable console-like PCs, but about Linux it is pretty straightforward nowadays for running Windows games, mostly requiring some occasional tweaks and troubleshooting, but nothing major. ^_^

Also in the topic of facilitating usage, maybe you'd be interested in checking Heroic Launcher if you have games on Amazon Prime, EGS and/or GOG? Makes running the respective platforms' games pretty easy too.

Thanks, didn't know about Heroic Launcher, will try it out for GOG games

I installed this launcher I got a bunch of „free“ games from Amazon prime works great

Lutris too. As far as ease of use goes, nothing beats SteamOS. Nothing. It's the closest to fully featured plug&play I've ever seen, it all just works.
