Steam Deck is a very interesting piece of engineering. I've been using it for a few months but I cannot yet recommend the devices to "normies", just wait for the second version.

To use the Deck you still need to have an engineering mindset and try to figure out why the games are not running as expected or why they crash. Normally by when you do figure that out you'll probably lose interest on playing the game.

I have tried to install Windows11, it works "as expected" but some games will tell you that they are not compatible with the device and some other games will not detect the device controller or will be buggy.

Keep in mind that the Deck is more than just a handheld console, it's a fully customizable PC, which means that if you have an engineering mindset it can be a good product for you.

For sure Steam is doing a good job with this product, but it's just a matter of one or two iterations more to be a good product for "normies".
