It's a 2021 and back swiss-army-knife for gaming, and 6th gen, ps2 and gamecube? We got you, fam. My Deck is the foundation of my gaming. I use it more than my Desktop out of convenience.
Heck yeah! I bought the thing on sort of an impulse when it came out. Figured I really wouldn't really get a ton of use out of it, but neat to have. I was so wrong.
I like gaming on it more than I thought I would. AND when my main PC died, I ended up using the Deck in desktop mode as my replacement desktop monitor/keyboard/mouse setup. With the tiniest bit of getting familiar with the most basic of linux stuff, I was up and running. Ended up just using it like that for almost a year. Little thing exceeded my expectation in many ways.
