Fuck I really gotta just pony up and get one don’t I πŸ˜‚

If you dont care about high settings at high resolutions in AAA games, then its absolutely the best gaming option out there.

I do say people should be willing to tinker with the software if they want to get some more obscure, abandoned or emulated titles working though, thats the only caveat.

I'd advocate for getting one. Last year 70% of my gaming was on the deck, it really has shifted my attitude towards gaming.

That really does sound interesting

Buy a 64gb one, you can upgrade the storage pretty easily

The refurbished ones are really cheap during the sales.

I love mine. It's great in handheld mode with Moonbeam/Sunshine streaming from my gaming desktop, and it shines in docked mode.

And it's a very capable Linux desktop too if you want to go that route.

If streaming in home is all you do, I find lighter/cheaper android handhelds are a better option.
