Perhaps an intel 100 or 150 would be better in this regard?

I needed a
girfriend for my SDSteamdeck so my gf could play by my side :)I believe the bundle (gf+SD) isnt on sale rn, but I think you should marry any woman you see gaming on a SD, that’s my grain of salt

Depends on the game I guess (lucky for me I like emulation and 2d games a lot more than AAA games)

Is it LCD or OLED? I’ve heard a couple of times people keep the steam deck screen off while docked to prevent burn-in on OLEDs, but idk if that is a real concern with the steamdeck?

Are you dual booting Nobara and SteamOS or just Nobara?

Wow the raspberry thing is cool, and after seeing a streamer get scammed 30k worth of crypto for downloading a steam game, separating gaming from banking and such seems smart

I wanted a gaming device to play anywhere; at home, car, etc. Laptop was too big and I would have to bring a controller with me to play the way I like.
The steam deck was the better option in that case, and I just feel in “love” with it. I like that I can be gaming, want to watch a movie, I have another dock on the living room, so I just bring it over and in 30 seconds I’m on the couch watching whatever, or I can go back to gaming on the go. Also I enjoy being in the bed as I can’t stand being on a chair for more than 3hours or so.
Steam deck is less bulky, the ecosystem is better, the community is better, and has linux by default, good repairability and compatibility with extra pieces in the market. It fitted my interests.
I agree, a laptop can do what I described, but you would also have to consider the ergonomics of playing daily with a keyboard, mouse and dedicated monitor vs the laptop keyboard and monitor + extra mouse, are way different. So if I want this desktop experience, for both laptop and steam deck I would need all peripherals, and for all other user cases steam deck seems like the better option.
As a all in one device, laptop is the best option always (besides gaming on the go like car or similar), but I was mainly talking about gaming on the go + home setup with it, I think the steam deck is the best all rounder at a good price, but sure, laptops are great too, if you’re lucky with all specs, durability, battery life, seller support, etc, at this price point, anyway, different things, both great :)

I’m not recommending this as a solution, but as last option, you could try installing bazzite instead

- Comment on [Discussion] - What are some niche applications / use cases you've gotten working on your deck? 7 months ago:
I started “The Odin Project” in the deck, because the course prompted me to either mess with WSL2 on windows or switch to linux, so the SteamDeck it is :)
I also set up a secondary setup for my girlfriend with it, even tho my initial intention was to use it handheld most of the times, but it has worked out beautifuly, even with dual monitors!
And I use it as a SmartTV tool, I take it from my desk and dock it on the living room

I just lend my steam deck to my girlfriend and she games around, your aproach is 100% valid
Valve released a console, and you can use it as you wish, if you want help with installing wayland let me know, or you can search for any other tutorial online
Have fun gaming :)

Waydroid in this tutorial is running in a “cage” so it can run under X11 which is an older system used by the current KDE version in the steamdeck.
To install it on bazzite (under Wayland instead of X11), it’s even simpler.
rpm-ostree install waydroidand
sudo dnf install waydroidSo if you are ussing bazzite, follow first option here

For me it usually comes to:
- Android TV to dock the steam deck on my living room and use it as such
- Some very specific games, like PvZ2, or roblox
- Specific apps like “Stremio”, have a better touch screen experience under Waydroid compared to their flatpack version
- Comment on How to Install Waydroid on Steam Deck: Full Guide 7 months ago:
You are right
But in this case, the “steamos-waydroid-installer” creates a cage ( A wayland compositor running X11), and uses XWayland to render that. That creates a nested Wy

Is your statement true? Probably
But if we set our standards to “enough”, there wouldn’t be any progress
Was the switch enough for couch gamers? Sure. Did valve want to progress further? They did.
