I’ve been really wanting to get a steamdeck. I’ve been playing a lot on my modded switch, but there is a lot I want to play that is not available on the switch.

Does anyone have both systems and still use the switch?

I imagine I can just dump my games and emulate them on the Steamdeck.

I don’t do anything online, so I can’t imagine I’ll miss out on anything.

Im an experienced Linux gamer, so im not worried about the Linux side of things.

I've been using more my switch lately than my deck, but that's due to the fact I have a local library with many switch games available. While me and my spouse are super pro emulating we don't want to bother with emulating switch because:

  • We're not willing to hack our Switches yet.
  • I'm extremely uninformed on where to find another bios

In addition, the steam deck display isn't as pretty to look at as the OLED.

I have the first switch version, so it was pretty easy to mod and the screen should be about the same as the steam decks. But I bed the oled switch is really nice to look at.
