And you are an elected official?

It may be made for games but it’s a more tolerable desktop experience than a fully fledged Windows PC.

Which features/functions are “missing”?

Only there’s a desktop mode that is easily accessible and opens up the device for all manner of uses.

Windows games used to run better on wine 15 years ago and Windows bloat/telemetry has only gotten worse since then.

Looks like the shit on my fridge.

What happened to the “user replaceable batteries”?

I’ve been playing Switch games just fine on my SD. Currently enjoying Fire Emblem Engage which runs flawlessly, Three Houses also runs well. The same is true for many (most?) of the Switch library. I already have a 3DS but the Steam Deck can handle those games too. Likewise NDS games. I only play a handful of games from each system. It’s convenient to have my entire game library on one device, especially on the road.

I use my Steam Deck primarily for emulation, especially Nintendo IP. NDS, 3DS, N64, Gamecube, Switch. It’s the best Nintendo device that I’ve ever owned and it hasn’t been bricked or even threatened with such.
