I want a gaming device but also a device which I could “replace” my PC with for some basic stuff we all do on windows.
Like watching videos on YouTube, Netflix. Installing any app I need, installing mods. Installing adblockers.
Maybe do some MS office work and write/view documents etc.
Is that possible while staying on SteamOS? Or this operating system only meant to be used for gaming with steam launcher?
Buy a Steam Deck and an iPad Pro. Use the iPad for your basic stuff and as portable display for your Deck.
