First impressions of my new Steam Deck
To follow up on the post I made last night, here’s a more general post about my overall initial impressions of the Steam Deck. The super short form: this thing is amazing, with only a few things I’ve found a bumpy experience so far. <3
Longer form: I’m not going to review this thing in great technical depth. Lots of other sites, such as Ars Technica, have done that already. Go looking for your favorite gaming review site of choice and you’ll probably find they put up a review of this device months ago, with as much technical detail as you might want.
Me, I’m going to focus instead on my immediate impressions of it, and what this is going to mean for me in my gaming moving forward.

I’tm about to do TWO posts about this.

And I wanted to write up the steps I followed for my workaround, in case any other gamers out there also finally getting Decks want to do the same thing.
This is going to be long, so here’s a More tag, y’all:
