I mean, that makes sense, because its just running (a slightly restricted) version Linux of under the hood, which I is what I run on my gaming and work pc
It’s an immutable version of stripped Arch, dunno if that counts as ‘slightly restricted’. You can disable the read-only mode if you want to and know what you’re doing.
I can, what I am saying is the way the steamos is built, its a bit harder for new users to do more advanced stuff, not that its that limited. I so admit I could’ve phrased IT better though
My laptop’s SSD died a while back, so I sent it away for repairs (yay, MSI’s warranty).
In that brief period without a PC, my Steam Deck was a god send - used it as my main machine for 4 days. Was even able to work on it.
That’s such a crazy addition to the value proposition, for me - totally makes it worth it.
Also, being able to play PS5 games in bed via Chiaki is delicious.
I’ve been using it as my main (and only) machine for the whole year. Work included (dev, illustration, graphic design, cgi)

That’s why I said slightly, for the average user you can’t do quite as much
I mean for average console user, you can do a whole lot. Even for your average Windows user.
And if you drive Linux… I’m not sure why you couldn’t handle SteamOS?

Chiaki doesn’t get enough credit.
