      A linux PC would involve some amount of tinkering.

      The steam deck is foolproof, a 6 year old can play games on it with no issues, so it’s a console. The PC mode is just a nice extra.

        Linux can be configured to be idiot friendly y’know, and it doesn’t make it suddenly not Linux. The SteamDeck has the capabilities of a full fledged Linux PC with the PC mode, it very much isn’t just a console.

        The Steam Deck definitely requires a certain amount of tinkering, depending on when you got it and what games you’re trying to play!
