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.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

That's understandable

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