Linux as my daily driver via Steam Deck docked to my 65" tv at 1440p 120hz. The Steam Deck isnt only a handheld gaming console. It's a full Linux machine.

Tbh, Steam Deck as PC becomes annoying pretty fast. Once you try doing something serious and run into Valve's (rightfully placed) limitations, it stops being viable/fun. As an example, I can't make it output 4K@60 in Desktop mode, stuck in 4K@30. Recently, my pacman broke after an update.

I suppose it's great if you dualboot with a proper Linux distro.

Huh. Works great for me. I browse the web, play games, watch some streaming stuff, word processing, etc... 1440p 120hz is perfect.
