I’m all in on Apple for my main machines. The ecosystem works for me. I am an ex-Windows gamer and don’t currently have a full gaming PC - not likely to either. I’m not even a mildly talented gamer tho. I love games and I suck at them unfortunately. The Deck seems like a great way to get a gaming PC without having to splash out the expense of a full gaming rig. The Deck covers a whole raft of stuff I can dig. Linux based and I have it ready to snatch non-Steam and retro games with Lutris and Emudeck. I love the form factor, love I can dock it and play on the big screen if I want. Love the Deck’s controller feel so much tho that playing on an Xbox Series S controller is kinda a downgrade! I am spoiled, I used to love the xbox controllers. I guess you could say I’m a fanboy.
