Why
First off- im a Linux nerd. I run Arch Linux, and love it..
I have been in the market for a console- or at least something i can play on that i have games on. All my consoles are gone currently. While my laptop currently doesn't have enough storage. The only computer i have that can play games is a my laptop currently, and that is completely fine. I will be getting a whole new PC soon too, from a relative of mine.
However i want a console
Why? Because its just fun to have something that is pickup and i start playing a game, and that is exactly what the steam deck tries to be while on Linux.
Another reason i want a Deck
Well- quite honestly, I love Linux.
With this being a open, Linux based console firstly, while supporting everything else second. You can literally do anything you want. This i really appreciate. If i want to, i can make this into my main rig, and plug in a monitor, camera, anything.
The difference between this and a normal Linux based computer, is that tries to guide you. It tries to make it simple to someone who never has used a Linux based computer. This it does pretty great at. This is a combo honestly- it is what the switch wanted to be.
I hope to review my steam deck when i get it, and hope it is what it claims to be.
Emulation
I will get to play titles like Super Mario Odyssey portablely without a cartridge. This is great for playing titles like potentially the orginal Mario, or even something like NFL 2K5 with the Resurrected mod
I think loads of side scroller titles would be amazing on this thing.
Ending notes
So steam has really made something that appeals to just about any type of Gamer.
PC gamer: You can make this into a PC
Console gamer: this is a console by default
Emulation person: this thing can emulate just about anything
Linux lover: This thing runs Arch Linux in the back
Name just about anything- and this thing can do it pretty easily. Even if not- someone can create a project that does what you need it to.
