What are your use cases for the Steam Deck?
I’ve been on the fence for a while thinking about getting myself a steam deck. I got a great gaming computer and I’m wondering if it can possible accompany it in some way, or is it just the excitement of getting new tech kicking in.
What do you do with your steam deck? What makes you glad that you got it?

Mine has become my couch gaming set up for my TV, so pretty much anything compatible with controller support gets played on the couch instead of on my PC. Also use it for playing torrented TV shows & movies on my TV by remote mounting my media drives on my PC.
I've also brought it around for travel a few times now, but I also don't travel all that much either.
Overall I really only would 100% recommend it if you're willing to tinker with the Linux half to really unlock the full potential of having basically a really decent Linux HTPC at your disposal. That said, it's not a requirement and I think it functions super well in the Steam gaming mode on its own.
I love all the tinkering part! It seems so fun to enable it to do basically everything!
