I’m seriously considering giving up my gaming desktop in a year or two and switch to a Steam Deck instead of building a new battlestation. I’ll likely keep my desk and get a docking station for it.
The fact that it’s open and let me run games outside of Steam (I have many games bought on GOG) is a major selling point. Plus almost all of the apps I rely on are available in Flatpak format, which should work great when I’m not gaming.
