  one reason I got a deck is long term it can work as a mini linux machine even when I upgrade to something better eventually.

    Makes sense, the Steam Deck does give me UMPC vibes

  I have both a v1 Switch I’ve home brewed and a Steam Deck OLED. I never really use the switch anymore

  Playing the handful of Switch 2 exclusive games.

  The switch does play certain games better, switch 2 games won’t emulate as well until a steamdeck 2 in assuming.

  Imo not worth having the switch unless you like the small size and portability. Switch 2 is just stupid to me, too big and non-oled. It’s not sure whether it wants to be a console or a handheld so it decided to just suck at both.

    If I were getting into Switches, I'd get a Switch too. It's more powerful, so it'd probably run older games better, and new games will likely be Switch 2 exclusive, at least at some point. If I need portability on-the-go, I'd probably get a Switch Lite, which is available at extremely reasonable prices these days.
