      Dude, seriously. I’m on an extended family trip right now and we bought one right before we came. I wish we had bought two or three. I am so stoked for the future of Linux gaming.

      Also I bought the switch 2 before my steam deck. Had I gone the other way, I probably would’ve just skipped the switch 2. We didn’t even bring it on our trip.

      I decided to spend a bit more and get at MSI Claw 8 for the extra processing grunt and Thunderbolt support, but I can’t believe how much use I get out of it. I actually look forward to commuting.

        Cool little machine, looks a bit smaller and more comfortable than a deck

        Sadly it doesn’t have the little touchpads, which are arguably one of the best features of the deck

          For me it’s really buggy, games and Steam OS. The constant remapping of buttons and trackpads for the games to be working flawlessly is annoying too but other than that I don’t fond too many problems.

          If they release a steam deck “mini” that’s like the size of a thick phone my productivity will crash so hard.

        Yeah, mine never reconnects the game audio to my Bluetooth if I ever lock it. I have to quit the game and restart it for it to play audio again. Really makes it frustrating to use on the go, which is all I use it for
