I was reading a thread on the Beehaw gaming community and was honestly surprised at the number of people who basically said that any Steam Deck alternarive that used Windows wasn't worth buying. Valve is frighteningly close to actually disrupting Microsoft's monopoly.

I recently added my Windows Steam libtary to Linux, and was surprised at how Baulder's gate just mostly... Worked. I've been running on the rule of thumb that 3D games don't run through wine, so it's a shock that a modern game with all the bells and whistles just runs fine and with mostly parity with Windows.

The only reason I've not switched back to Linux for gaming is because for some reason I'm getting quite bad microstuttering with X11+Cinnamon which I've not been able to track down...
