I genuinely don’t get why any sane person would waste their hard-earned money on a Linux-based system like the Steam Deck. You can’t even play every game in your library because of anti-cheat issues. Sure, you can install Windows on it, but what’s the point? The device isn’t optimized for it, and it just ends up being a compromised experience.

A ROG Ally or Lenovo Legion Go is objectively the better option. They can run the entire Windows library without compatibility issues, and the Legion Go even has a trackpad if you absolutely need that feature.

Also, the Steam Deck’s hardware is pretty bad. Both the LCD and OLED models have poor pixel density, which strains your eyes over time. Games just don’t look good on that screen. Meanwhile, the ROG Ally X has a crisp, sharp display with VRR, making it actually enjoyable to use.

whats the point of buying a modern handheld to play shitty modern games when you can just emulate better games made in better times on your phone for free

people that arent niggercattle goy slaves dont play games with kernel level anti-cheat malware

only pedo schizos worry about stuff like that
>oh no a respectable game company has full access to my computer im going to die :(((

SteamOS helps with fps in games, unlike windows that actually takes some performance.
>Most expensive Deck model is still cheaper then both the legion and Ally
>There is a proof way of knowing if a game on steam is actually really playable on the Deck

Got one a few months ago, maybe used it 3 times in total and the only enjoyable experience was playing a shitty rogue like called Cult of Lamb or something, every AAA game worth playing runs like shit with cinematic 10-25fps

Oh yeah a crisp, sharp shitty IPS display that requires most games it's able to handle over the deck to be upscaled from 720p. Wow amazing.

For me it's french Ada

Because the Steam Deck is the only PC handheld that manages to balance power, battery and usability.
>anti-cheat
If you're playing competitive multiplayer on a handheld (on wifi) you're fucking retarded.
>Legion Go trackpad
It's also a fuckhueg brick that's uncomfortable to hold.
>Windows
Half of the Steam Deck's appeal IS Linux! We're it not for the Steam Deck, Linux gaming would not be in the position it is today, especially in a time when Microsoft becomes even more and more retarded.
>trackpads
>need
dude
The main feature of the Steam Deck is being able to play PC games that were never designed for controller use. That includes keyboard heavy games with a million hotkeys. Do you have any idea how much versatility you can get out of the left trackpad when you need it? That sets the Deck ahead of the competition, even though it's weak as fuck because Valve understood you had the actually play on the thing.
>display
Only valid point in this post, but the OLED Deck's screen is perfectly fine for what it is.

My sixth sense tells me that OP's pic is cropped futanari pornography. Can anyone verify this to be true?

If the devs expect you to willingly degrade yourself by installing malware, their game probably sucks.
Some of the best PC games released in the last decade (the vast majority of which were indie) have native Linux ports and DRM-free versions on GOG. Windows lost.

>anitcheat
why the fuck would you care about mutilaplyer anticheat on your mobile device ? Do you really plan on playing against m&k users that will demolish your ass ? like, maybe a MOBA or something

if i ever buy a deck, it's to play comfy ass games outside of my pc, like Morrowind, factorio, minecraft, songs of syx. But i don't even see the point of doing that, honnestly

if you really want to play csgo on your fucking portable, maybe (you) are the problem
probably another bait thread

I got the deck because of ergonomics and the OLED screen.
Given many games on these devices cannot reach 120fps unless there's some weightlifting from frame generation which is input laggy dogshit, and I have no intention to play demanding games, it was the best option. If I buy a different handheld at some point (not anytime soon, that's for sure), I will not downgrade to something without 2 decent trackpads too.

Even if that were true, the anticheat is an extra unnecessery vulnerability that if hacked, will give the hacker full access to your PC.

Some of the best games are also on Windows, doe. Like Doom 2016, Jupiter Hell, and Prodeus.
