The only PC I have at home is my professional device that my company gave me (I am a web developer) and I was not feeling confortable using it for everyday use or personal matters.

Now that I own a Steam Deck, I use it to play of course, but also as a Linux PC that I can connect to my Dell Docking station. I installed a bunch of software on it to work on personal projects (using Docker for example) and I feel like it’s powerful enough to handle everything I need to throw at it.

And you, do you use your Deck for other things than playing ?

    Likewise. Its my bedroom couch gaming/PC/PLEX streaming unit. Have an older desktop PC and I use that too, but mostly for web use and DL/NAS PLEX based hardware to stream from.

    Steam Deck is my go to Linux PC and also own tons of Steam games too, so its easier for me to game with on the go or docked with Steam Deck dock as a couch gaming/PC use.

    Anticipating 1TB OLED unit to arrive as well. With current 512GB LCD day 1 unit will be a secondary unit to do what ever I need. :)
