True, but if I'm spending thousands on a machine, I tend to want to be able to do other things on it so unfortunately Windows usually enters the equation.

Will consider a dedicated SteamOS box when I next refresh.

Then it's still Windows maintenance, not PC maintenance. For Intel and AMD GPUs, any regular convenience Linux distribution (like Fedora) works with negligible maintenance. It's only those NVidia users or people who feel the urge to tweak everything steer themselves into maintenance hell.

Surely you still have to update drivers and OS?!

I dual boot Linux on my PC and run it on Raspberry Pis. Let's not pretend it requires zero maintenance.

Drivers are part of the OS and OS updates happen everywhere. Game consoles or Steam Deck are no exceptions.
