Man, I just bought a new gaming notebook, but I really want to get one. And I have almlst no time for gaming nowadays. Why are you tempting me, Gabe???

A good laptop running a stable and gaming-optimized distro like Bazzite with a good controller connected to it should be as good, if not better than the Steam Deck.

Sort of... But the form factor itself completely changes the experience.

Yeah, that's probably true

It is good enough for gaming with a standard distro as well. But you misunderstand, I WANT a Steam deck, I KNOW that I don't need one.

That's understandable

I really like the 'deck's gamepad integration. And the shitload of buttons.
