I bought so many indie games over the years that I felt like was not enough for my desktop. I know that sounds stupid but I’d want to play high end games on my desktop or maybe mouse and keyboard games rather than any controller.
After getting a steam deck I plowed through that list and they were amazing. I got the dock and have a controller too.
I loved my Switch but I gave that to my nephews … The Steam Deck requires a bit more configuration which makes it perfect for me.

That is exactly my experience!
I have been a competitive player for stuff like WoW and LoL for years, and very conservative in the types of games I play (always 1/2 max). Since I bought the deck I went deep into Hollow Knight rabbit hole and loved it, playing balatro and many other smaller indie games, chilling on the sofa and without the addicting factor of online PvP.

Perfect for those sorts of games. Previously the switch was my machine for those sorts of games, but waiting for a switch port ruled out or delayed a lot of games. So glad we have handheld PCs now.
