Comment on Does anyone else use their steam deck as a PC? How's it?

I’m one of those weirdos. It’s my daily driver desktop PC.
I ordered mine with the same intentions as everyone else in the Great Queue of 2022 and waited patiently until it arrived in June. The week before it did, my old laptop finally kicked the bucket.
At first I intended to replace that laptop, but… I docked up the Deck and fell in love. I had already divorced Microsoft and was on Linux anyway, so it was an easy transition, and the Deck is far more capable than that old laptop was, so weirdly… it was an upgrade. More capable on daily tasks, and more portable when I had to be on the go with it. It’s been a great several years, and no regrets.

I have an aging computer and have test driven the Deck with a dock as my main. I don’t do a lot of heavy lifting with it because i have a homelab so i mostly need a simple workstation. It’s def more than capable for that task.
